No target has been removed from the Modern Service Framework for Frailty and Dementia. The framework is still in development, and we are still considering all options to help improve dementia diagnosis and care, including reviewing targets, metrics, and data.

We are engaging with a wide group of partners to understand what should be included to ensure the best outcomes for people living with frailty and dementia. As part of this exercise, we will develop a list of best evidenced interventions following analysis of the evidence and wider research.
