Letter about dementia sent to new Secretary of State for Health and Social Care
A letter has been sent to the new Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, Rt Hon James Murray MP, calling for a ‘bold national ambition’ for dementia as part of the Modern Service Framework for Dementia and Frailty.
The letter, signed by 48 key stakeholders including Alzheimer’s Society, Dementia UK, Alzheimer’s Research UK and other charities, clinicians, academics and Royal Colleges calls on the UK Government to ensure the Framework will:
“Drive rapid improvements to the current pathway so that people living with dementia can access the appropriate care and post-diagnostic support they need to improve their experience today.
Deliver on this moment of unprecedented opportunity – providing the clarity, leadership and long-term direction required to transform outcomes for people affected by dementia over the next 10 years and beyond.”
