Explores the reality of how service providers, such as doctors, social workers and community nurses, respond to carers. Looks at which carers get help and why, analysing how age, relationship, class and gender structure the responses of service providers and carers themselves. Also examines the moral, economic and policy issues posed by trying to fully incorporate carers' interests into service provision. Focuses on the views of both carers and service providers.
