Petition Payments to carers should be increased significantly.

Carers should be paid a decent living wage and not the pittance of £62.50 per week. Carers save the Government, billions of pounds a year. If all carers just gave up then there would not just be a crisis but total meltdown of social care. Carers should be cared for by the Government.
