| Annotation | The All Party Parliamentary Group on Dementia looks at the challenges facing people living with dementia and other conditions, the prevalence of co-morbidities, and the changes that are needed across the health and social care system to help mitigate these difficulties. The report draws on evidence submitted by a number of organisations, including voluntary organisations, the Royal colleges, practitioners, and service providers. The Alzheimer's Society also held two focus groups for people with dementia and carers. The report found that despite significant progress to deliver integrated care services and support, the health and social system frequently treats conditions in isolation, so that people with dementia and other health conditions receive disjointed, substandard care and treatment. The report makes a number of recommendations in respect of improved risk reduction, GP-led holistic annual reviews, new guidance for medication management, better data for joint commissioning, and regulation of care pathways and of providers.
