Response to Transforming the Quality of Dementia Care - Consultation on a National Dementia Strategy

Whilst it is clear that parts of the draft strategy are inclusive, and improving social care and health services clearly need to be key priorities for this strategy, in key areas the focus is too narrow. The effect of this is to miss opportunities for achieving the strategy outcomes for some people with dementia - possibly more cost effectively - through housing sector services, and indeed those of other independent sector organisations.

This response considers the draft strategy from a housing sector perspective. It follows the order in the consultation document.
