Question
To ask the Scottish Government how it was decided who would be represented on task group that is considering the issue of a right to breaks for carers.
Answer
Group membership has been identified through dialogue between Scottish Government officials and organisations representing carers, local carer centres and statutory organisations expected to be involved in implementing the proposed right to breaks from caring. Further members were invited following a discussion at the group’s first meeting, to help ensure a good spread of expertise to enable the group to fulfil its remit.
