More support needed for ex-carers

Robin Furlonger from Bridgwater cared for his wife Eileen for eleven years before her death in September 2014. He's been telling Ben McGrail that more support is needed for people like him after he described himself as "forgotten about" after she died.

We asked Somerset County Council what support is available for people like Robin. A spokesperson said it has a service run by Compass Carers which provides support for carers after a bereavement and that it also signposts people towards a number of other organisations in the county which can provide support.
