Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what proportion of people living with dementia in Reading West and Mid Berkshire constituency received a (a) care plan review and (b) new care plan in financial year 2023/24.

NHS England does not hold this information centrally. NHS England is committed to delivering high quality care and support for every person with dementia, and central to this is the provision of personalised care and support planning for post diagnostic support.

To support the quality of dementia care planning by primary care providers, the Dementia: Good Personalised Care and Support Planning guide sets out how to ensure personalised care and support planning is undertaken consistently and reliably, and offers a quality assurance framework to ensure care planning is responsive to needs and preferences. The guide was developed with input from a diverse range of people living with dementia, their carers, and health and social care professionals.

The Quality and Outcomes Framework incentivises the annual review of care plans for patients diagnosed with dementia in general practice.
