At the start of the meeting the Chair welcomed a group of City of London Corporation unpaid carers, who had been invited to an earlier informal meeting of the Committee, to  present their views on the new Carers Strategy.    Members noted that the Strategy would be the first agenda item for decision at this Committee.  The Chair thanked Members, Officers and Carers for an excellent example of co-production, commending the sterling work of Carers’ Champion, Anne Corbett.   A Member spoke on behalf of those who are cared for, who  are also very supportive of the Strategy.
