'I didn't sleep for 42 hours' Government told to give workers paid leave to help loved ones

The Government has been told to do more to support carers who have jobs outside the home.

It is estimated that unpaid carers save the British economy £87 billion a year in potential care costs - but they are not eligible for paid leave from work to take their loved ones to scheduled hospital appointments or planned appointments with their doctors.

Chris Jeffery from Tunbridge Wells has set up the group campaigning for a change. Sarah Saunders reports.
