Description
The implementation plan sets out the Department’s four priority objectives for securing improvements in dementia care, which are:• good quality early diagnosis and intervention for all;
• improved quality of care in general hospitals;
• living well with dementia in care homes;
• reduced use of anti-psychotic medication.
Improving outcomes for carers underpins each of these priority areas.
