> From next year, people with intellectual disabilities or autism will be eligible for more financial support. Criteria for four schemes will be widened to better reflect care needs that current assessments may miss. The measures also include eight Caregiver Support Touchpoints and CarersHub, an online platform for peer support and caregiving equipment.
