Ministers are drawing up plans to reform the system for caring for England's rapidly ageing population and
a white paper is expected later this year.
The Conservative MP
Chris Skidmore, who wrote the report, said: “As a society we should be encouraging people to care for their relatives.
“Where a local authority might otherwise be paying several hundred pounds a week for residential care, they could instead be offering a fraction of that to a relative to provide care themselves.”
