This is an overview of the policy context around health and social care, and dementia in particular.

Dementia Carer Voices recently published a report analysing the 14,000 pledges received over the three years of the project. In this report, Dementia Carer Voices laid out the key finding of our analysis and demonstrated key motivations and concerns among health and social care professionals and students.

Appendix 1 of ‘Dementia Carer Voices – Rights and the Carer Voice’ laid out a brief explanation of the policy landscape in health and social care, especially as it pertains to dementia. This document presents a more in-depth overview of this policy landscape to complement the full report. This policy context focuses especially on the key reports published over the last decade on the issue of dementia and health and social care policy that pertains most closely to dementia.
