Carer Support
Hounslow Council recently noted a report highlighting past scrutiny of carer support, as councils consider ongoing assistance for unpaid carers.
Hounslow Council's Borough Council noted the Scrutiny Annual Report for 2025/26 in September 2026, which highlighted past reviews into carer support. Councillor Katherine Dunne, Chair of the Overview and Scrutiny Committee, presented the report detailing the committee's work over the past year.
While carer support was a focus of past scrutiny, the report also outlined the committee's future work programme and priorities. Councils are currently considering the ongoing provision of assistance and resources for individuals who care for others, including services that offer temporary relief for primary caregivers.
