| Annotation | York is one of more than 80 places across the UK that are working towards becoming more dementia friendly. This evaluation found that the approach in York of encouraging 'many flowers to bloom' has led to a range of small initiatives which now need to be integrated into a more strategic programme to ensure sustainability. Sign-up at leadership level is evident, but middle managers and teams which connect strategic objectives to frontline services need more support and investment before the City of York can truly claim to be dementia friendly. More focus is needed on the integration of health and social care for people with dementia. Organisations need to consider how to use relevant legislation to protect people's rights and to enable people with dementia to engage in community life. (NH/RH). |
