Services to carers are not defined in the Act, and the local authority may provide any services which, in their view, will support the carer in their caring role.. The Carers (Equal Opportunities) Act 2004 (“the 2004 Act”) seeks to give carers more choice and better opportunities to lead a more fulfilling life by ensuring that carers receive information about their rights under the 2000 Act.
