Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment he has made of the implications for his policies of the recommendations of the Global Alzheimers and Dementia Action Alliance's report, Forgotten in a Crisis: Addressing Dementia in Humanitarian Response, published in May 2019.

The UK supports the World Health Organisation’s Global Action Plan on Dementia. In the Challenge on Dementia 2020, we committed to tackle the global challenge of dementia in partnership with Governments and organisations across the world.

The Report ‘Forgotten in a Crisis: Addressing Dementia in Humanitarian Response’ plays an important role in highlighting the issues people with dementia face in humanitarian settings. We will make relevant Government departments aware of the Report.
