Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how much of the £4.5 billion allocated to community care in five years' time as part of NHS England’s Long Term Plan is planned to be spent on provisions for people diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease and dementia.
Dementia remains a key priority for the Government. Following the publication of the NHS Long Term Plan, the National Implementation Framework, to be published in the spring, will provide further information on how the Long Term Plan will be implemented. Additional details, based on local health system five-year plans, will be brought together in a detailed national implementation plan.
We will continue to work closely with key partners and stakeholders, including the Alzheimer’s Society and other voluntary sector partners, as we support the National Health Service to deliver the commitments set out in the Long Term Plan.
