The NHS Helpline:
The NHS helpline will provide information about the support services available to carers in your area.
You can phone them on 0800 22 44 88.
Lines are open from 8am to 10pm every day. The NHS helpline is a free phone service.
The NHS helpline will also be able to tell you
- what financial help is available
- details of carers’ groups in your area
- contact points for national organisations that help carers throughout Scotland
Some services for carers are provided free of charge. However some services, for example, residential respite care which benefit both the cared for person and the carer, may involve charges to the cared for person depending on his or her financial circumstances. Voluntary or private organisations such as Renfrewshire Carers Centre do not generally charge for services.
