| Annotation | This book aims to contribute to academic debate around policy and dementia, by critically analysing recent and proposed policies in the light of their potential to affect the well-being of people with dementia. It examines dementia-specific and general health and social care policy, and reviews policy from both Scotland and England. It reviews policy in the light of research evidence as to what is important in life to people with dementia and what supports their well-being. The main part of the book is organised in four chapters, each considering an issue identified as important to the well-being of people with dementia by policy-makers and people with dementia alike. These are: health; independence; choice and control; and social inclusion. (RH). |
