Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps he is taking to ensure people affected by dementia are offered rehabilitation support after the covid-19 outbreak.

NHS England and NHS Improvement have made guidance and resources available to address the rehabilitation needs of people living with dementia who are recovering from COVID-19 infection.

The NHS Long Term Plan also commits to the expansion of the Enhanced Health in Care Homes service model and to further expand the Comprehensive Model of Personalised Care, with a focus on enhancing access to social prescribing for people with dementia and their carers. These initiatives will support people living with dementia in care homes and in the community, whose condition may have deteriorated during this time.
