Annotation	Many practitioners will sympathise with Claire Hilton's views of the National Dementia Strategy. However, implementation of healthcare policies is frequently a long drawn out and messy process. There is no guarantee that its proposals will be implemented, given the vagaries of economies and the frailty of political will, but all of them could be. The author argues that we should aim for gradual changes that produce qualitative shifts in the standards of dementia care. (KJ).
