The Care for Carers package would offer a 24/7 hotline that carers could call if they felt the need for emotional support.
Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn has committed £10bn in additional funding by 2023/24 and promised to cap care costs.

The party said £350 million will be spent on investment in training to develop the social care workforce.
