Book excerpt: The proposed Order would give the National Assembly power to legislate to promote the well-being of carers in Wales. At present the Welsh Assembly Government has the power to issue statutory and practice guidance to local authorities and the NHS, but it does not have the power to legislate specifically in relation to carers, of which there is a higher proportion in Wales than in England. The proposed Order would enable the Welsh Assembly Government to bring forward a measure to compel bodies to work together to proved appropriate information and services to carers. The Committee concludes that the purpose of the proposed legislation is clear and consistent with previously announced policy and existing powers in the field of social welfare.
