Health Trusts across Northern Ireland are introducing a new system called 'direct payments', to give people cash to spend on the care they need.
Unison is worried that some trusts are rushing these changes, which could leave vulnerable elderly or disabled people struggling to cope. Staff providing care will also see big changes.
We want to hear about care you or someone you know receives, or if you provide care.
We want to hear the good and the bad, whether you, or someone you know, already receives a direct payment or not.
You can also email us at cashforcare@unison.co.uk or write to us at:
