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 findings of the APPG on Dementia's latest report Workforce Matters: Putting People Affected by Dementia at the Heart of Care.
No formal assessment has been made. Through Skills for Care, the Government provides a range of resources and toolkits for social care providers to attract, train and retain staff. This includes the Workforce Development Fund, which enables employers to apply for financial support towards the development of staff and can include training staff to care for those with dementia.
