| Annotation | This introductory paper maps some main developments in relation to the way in which dementia has been regarded and handled in policy terms over the past fifty years. This period coincides with the time that the Centre for Policy on Ageing (CPA) has been in existence, and various policy developments have been witnessed. Much progress has been made since Seebohm Rowntree's 1946 report which depicted some of the worst dementia care; the CPA's 1997 publication, `State of the art in dementia care' (edited by Mary Marshall) describes some of the best. However, knowledge and understanding of dementia needs to be transferred to those providing care in homes and in the community. (RH). |
