The graphic depicts a range of carers, with individuals that they are supporting. Below is the question :'Who are people caring for'. The answers include: Mother or mother-in-law (34%); Husband, wife or partner (18%), Father or father in law (`6%), Son or daughter (14%), Friend (10%), Grandparent (7%), Neighbour (4%), Brother or sister (7%), Pther family member (4%), Someone else (2%), Grandchild or great grandchild (1%).
