Making a long & difficult journey, at a time of crisis, to visit those for whom they have responsibility 24/7 could be the final straw which makes a caring situation break down due to the additional impact on a carers' physical, mental and emotional health. Nor should the pressure of financial hardship be underestimated. The government has made a committment to support & include carers; their needs should not be ignored.

It was extremely hard going to Burnley for treatment but it did mean that I did it by working lunch hours to make time up and not putting any cost onto the community for care or transport.

Further so-called centralisation (in this case not central to the area anyway) will cause more hardship and more denial of this element of caring.
