Dementia strategy two years on report
Posted 26 June, 2012
Hot off the press at Alzheimer Scotland’s annual Dementia Awareness Week conference was the Scottish Government’s second annual report on Scotland’s National Dementia Strategy.
Deputy First Minister and Cabinet Secretary for Health and Wellbeing, Nicola Sturgeon MSP launched the report and spoke about some of the highlights, including the national commitment from 2013 of a guaranteed minimum of a year’s post-diagnostic support and the ongoing programme of inspections into the standard of care of older people, including those with dementia, in acute hospital settings.
