For those who are not good at maths ..Kate Garraway paying £16,000 a month for Derek's care = £192,000 a year . Which leaves £352,000 just from her GMB salary alone . I am sorry she lost her husband ..especially for her two kids. But please don't give us the hard luck stories.

Pete Roberts I’m a nurse with 30 years experience and seen the costs of care at home. It is vital that the cost of carers is highlighted . we need people like Kate to use her position to highlight this.

lucy england I would prefer to listen to those who have no money ..and still do it . Sorry.

Pete Roberts lucy england But those who don’t have the money don’t have a platform. When my disabled son moves out of the family home, his care will cost £32K pm- we’ve been doing it for 22 years for £307 pm. I am grateful to Kate Garraway for using her privilege and platform to highlight this issue.
