Miriam Murray says greater support is needed for unpaid carers in Northern Ireland.
BBC News NI health correspondent
Caring for people at home reduces pressure on the health and social care system including reducing the number of people in residential care and hospital.According to Miriam, who is 77, her life was "torn apart" when she had to choose to care for her husband Ian, 89, at home while her sister Jennifer, 73, was placed in assisted living accommodation.
"They are the glue that keeps it all together. They do so much for caring and our health care system is so much under pressure - without our carers we just couldn't cope," she said. It is early days for Ms Smyth and Miriam, who are still getting to know one another and working out what exactly Miriam needs.
