We will shortly set out our plans on dementia for England, which will focus on the specific health and care needs of people living with dementia and their carers, including dementia diagnosis, risk reduction and prevention and research. As part of the development of the plan, we are working with partners to identify appropriate key performance indicators to monitor progress and assess the plan’s success.
