AnnotationTwo small focus groups comprising five people with memory difficulties and four family carers participated in this assessment regarding their views of how the Birmingham Memory Assessment and Advisory Service (BMAAS) met key objectives of the National Dementia Strategy (2009). The participants had been discharged from the service between 22 weeks and six weeks prior to the focus group. While there was satisfaction with the quality of the assessment, the current economic climate raises questions regarding future feasibility of such services. (RH).
