<p>The Department is committed to making sure people with long term conditions receive
the personalised care and support they need. Where suitable, loved ones and carers
should be involved in tailoring care options.</p><p>Last summer the Department published
a Carers Action Plan, setting out a cross-Government programme of targeted work to
support carers over the next two years and will also ensure a clear focus on carers
in the forthcoming Adult Social Care Green Paper. The Department is clear that planning
for people with long term conditions should involve loved ones and carers. The aim
is supporting carers to provide care as they would wish, and to do so in a way that
supports their own health and wellbeing.</p><p>As set out in the NHS Long Term Plan,
published on 7 January 2019, NHS England is taking action in range of areas to improve
the care treatment and support provided to people with neurological conditions including
rolling out the NHS Comprehensive Model of Personalised Care across the country, reaching
2.5 million people by 2023/24.</p>
