| Annotation | Following the consultation, 'Transforming the quality of dementia care' (June 2008), the Department of Health (DH) has developed a national strategy for dementia services. This booklet is an accessible version of the full length national dementia strategy's executive summary. It includes a list of the strategy's 17 key objectives, and outlines the main points of the full-length strategy, but in less detail. It gives short summaries of the strategy's three key steps for improving the quality of life for people with dementia and their carers: ensuring better knowledge about dementia; ensuring early diagnosis, support and treatment; and developing services to meet changing needs better.
