In response to their concerns about dementia care, CQC are developing a cross-sector dementia strategy https://journalofdementiacare.co.uk/cross-sector-dementia-strategy. This will be shaped by the central question: ‘How can CQC use its role to improve the experience of using health and social care services for people living with dementia and their carers?’
