By use of the data collected through the InCARE survey, this report published by Eurocarers offers insights into informal carers’ general assessment and experienced barriers regarding the accessibility, affordability, and quality of LTC services and general practitioners (GPs) in Europe. Our results demonstrate that many informal carers negatively assess the accessibility, affordability, and quality of LTC services and GPs. Inequalities in accessibility, affordability, and quality are related to informal carers’ living area, working conditions, income, and sense of obligation to care. European countries should recognise the pivotal role of informal carers in the LTC system, combat inequalities to enhance the accessibility, affordability, and quality of LTC services and ensure that informal carers have access to timely, reliable, and relevant information regarding formal LTC provision.
