Andrea Jenkyns (Morley and Outwood) (Con)
What steps is my right hon. Friend taking to ensure that dementia care is adequately funded in the next spending review?
Elizabeth Truss
My hon. Friend makes a very good point about dementia care, which is one of the issues that will be looked at as part of the long-term plan for health. Due to the fiscal responsibility exercised by this Government, we are able to put extra money into health services to deal with issues such as dementia.
