Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether the update to the NHS Long Term Plan will strengthen the NHS's focus on the (a) diagnosis, (b) treatment and (c) care for people with dementia.
Discussions on the detail of the updated NHS Long Term Plan are continuing.
We will set out plans for dementia in England for the next 10 years later this year, including the specific health and care needs of people living with dementia and their carers, such as diagnosis, risk reduction and prevention and research.
