AnnotationThe Department of Health (DoH) and the Gatsby Charitable Foundation have funded this three-year programme based at the King's Fund, which concerns how support to carers has improved during implementation of the NHS and Community Care Act 1990, and the subsequent Carers (Recognition and Services) Act 1995. The programme has three strands: a short intensive programme for areas to "Take Stock and Take Action", longer term demonstration programmes, and a Carers Impact Network to disseminate and exchange information and good practice. This report describes the first year's work of Carers Impact, summarises key messages from carers on the first Carers Impact sites, and how sites are trying to achieve change, and what appears to be helping or hindering them.
