The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps he is taking to ensure that the Modern Service Framework for Frailty and Dementia establishes care co-ordination as a minimum national expectation for people living with dementia, and if this will include associated outcome measures.

Answered by Stephen Kinnock

We are engaging with a wide group of partners to understand what should be included in the modern service framework to ensure the best outcomes for people living with dementia. We continue to engage key professional groups, including people with lived experience, to create a framework that supports greater national coordination.

We are considering all options, including reviewing data, metrics, and targets, and will identify the best evidenced interventions to support progress towards an outcome goal.
