The 10-Year Health Plan will address the challenges diagnosed by Lord Darzi and will set the vision for what good joined-up care looks like for people with a combination of complex health and care needs, including those with Alzheimer’s disease. It will set out how we support and enable health and social care services to work together better to provide that joined-up care.

In February 2025, the Minister of State for Care (Stephen Kinnock MP) hosted a roundtable discussion where partners shared how dementia, ageing well, and digital inclusion could be reflected in the 10-Year Health Plan.
