August 2007 Carers Emergency Card - The card is currently being developed for launch in December 2007. The card will be provided to carers across Surrey. The card will be used in event of an accident or the carers becoming ill while outside of the home and will provide the emergency services with the information that a person who is ill, frail or disabled is at home. This card then allows the emergency services to contact one of the emergency numbers on the card so that the person at home can be helped.

August 2007 New Carers Information Packs - There are three new carer information packs which are currently being developed and should be published in September 2007.
