| Annotation | People with dementia are entitled to live their normal lives for as long as possible. A key objective of formal services should be to enable them to do so. However, adequate and appropriate services are not in place for most of those with dementia and their carers in Scotland. This report focuses on care services which should be available to everyone with dementia, from the early stages of the illness and throughout its course. It provides signposts for planners and commissioners by modelling the range and volume of services estimated to meet the needs of people with dementia (some 58,000 in 2001, rising to 66,000 by 2011) and their carers. Appendices provide further definitions and statistical data on dementia in Scotland. (RH). |
