chronic illnesses or addiction. We provide a range of supports and
services for family carers nationally from our local support centres.
We initially proposed the concept of a Carers Guarantee to both the
government and the HSE in **Apply on the website**. The principle was
to tackle the postcode lottery by providing a core offering of
supports and services to family carers across Ireland, regardless of
where they live. The **Apply on the website** Programme for Government
committed to delivering this guarantee and we recently received
confirmation that we will receive a (recurring) increase in our annual
funding to enable us to implement an evidence-based framework of
support for family carers throughout the country.
