Carers Scotland has asked me whether the committee wishes to hold an informal fact-finding event as part of carers week. We have been asked to host a buffet lunch on Thursday 13 June and to make that a joint event with the Health and Community Care Committee and the Equal Opportunities Committee. We might wish to consider inviting the convener of the cross-party group on carers to the event.
As convener of the cross-party group on carers, I welcome that initiative. It would be a valuable contribution towards highlighting carers' issues during carers week.
Is that agreed?
Do members agree to a press release being issued on the matter? We are keen to liaise with Carers Scotland on the issues on which it wants to focus.
