During the pandemic we have worked with stakeholders and health and care system partners to identify and implement actions to support people with dementia and their carers, including modifying the diagnosis and care pathways to ensure people continue to be diagnosed and can access care and support. We will be setting out our future plans on dementia for England in due course.
