".
With increased average life expectancy and the growing vulnerability in the situation of older people due to their dependence on social services that are often inadequate and cause fragmentation in family relationships, we are facing a situation in which many people, at this most difficult stage of their lives, find themselves alone and without the financial means to support themselves and, in many cases, in situations of tragic poverty, therefore making it necessary for national governments to assume the provision of basic care.
In Europe, as in Portugal, the issue of continued care is very important to the CDS-PP (the Democratic and Social Centre
People’s Party), and for several years we have clearly supported the creation of suitable networks to provide this kind of care and support for families including older people, and for private care providers. It is with satisfaction that I see that the motion for a resolution here proposes that national governments should support informal continued care providers, often family members, and that these carers, who are taking on the role which under other circumstances would be the state’s, be given the conditions necessary to care for their older relatives without being penalised, for example professionally."@en1
