Dementia: Health Services

Asked by Jo PlattLabour (Co-op)Department of Health and Social CareTabled Answered 3 July 2025UIN 61815

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether he has made an assessment of the potential merits of including a national services framework for dementia as part of the NHS 10-year Health Plan.

Answered by Stephen Kinnock

The 10-Year Health Plan will address the challenges diagnosed by Lord Darzi and will set the vision for what good joined-up care looks like for people with a combination of complex health and care needs, including people living with dementia. We are carefully considering policies, including those that impact people with dementia, with input from the public, patients, health staff, and our partners, as we develop the plan.
