In August last year, the government announced a one-year programme to develop the first National Dementia Strategy for England. This consultation is one of the most important stages in the development of that strategy. It gives people with dementia, their families and carers, and those involved professionally in health and social care, a chance to tell the government what they think needs to be done to improve dementia care.
Warwickshire County Council is actively encouraging its citizens to become involved in this consultation. To that end - you can get involved in two main ways.
Fistly, you could read the consultation documents in any Warwickshire library, and pick up a response form.
Secondly, you could view the documents on this page, download the word document attached to this page, and email your responses to dementia.strategy@dh.gsi.gov.uk
The government has stated that this first round of consultation will finish on September 11th 2008 - so act quickly! |
