A policy that fully supports caregivers will be a great help to society and the caregivers themselves. Currently, Australia, the United Kingdom and other countries have policies for carers, but is such a policy necessary in Hong Kong?

 Reducing stress for caregivers
Carer policies can help carers improve their lives on a daily, financial basis and reduce their stress.

 Better coordination and ensuring that carers receive adequate resources and support
A more comprehensive range of services can be facilitated by developing a caregiver-centred policy framework.

 More effective and efficient support
Resources can be better utilised to meet the diverse needs of carers.

 Ageing population, increasing demand
The population is ageing and the number of carers is increasing,
The needs of carers may become more diverse and complex. Policies for carers can offer them a variety of services to meet their needs.

It can be seen that the government has brought great benefits to society for carers. The government and social services should embrace the carers policy and provide them with better and more comprehensive support.
