Financial pressure on unpaid carers in East Kilbride is "unsustainable", according to the town's MP whose constituency has more than 10,500.
Dr Lisa Cameron's claim comes after a UK-wide survey of 3,300 unpaid carers was carried out, revealing that just under half (45 per cent) of unpaid carers are currently unable to manage their monthly expenses.
With the rise in the cost of living, carers in Scotland can seek support by applying for a Carers Allowance Supplement, but many remain deeply concerned about being able to afford their monthly expenses.
