| Annotation | There are now some 800,000 people with dementia in the UK; and there are estimated to be 670.000 family and friends acting as primary carers. 'Dementia 2012' is the first in a series of annual reports, and describes how well people are living with dementia in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. It describes and makes recommendations on six quality of life outcomes of care that are important to older people and people living with dementia: personal choice and control or influence over decisions; services that are designed around an individual's needs; social networks and peer support; enough information and advice to make decisions about managing as the dementia progresses; living in an enabling and supportive environment; and having a sense of belonging and of being a valued part of family, community and civic life. The report uses the findings of a survey conducted by YouGov in December 2011 and other research, complemented by case studies to illustrate each outcome. (RH). |
