Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, with reference to the NHS Long Term Plan, published in January 2019, what steps his Department is taking to ensure that digitised health services proposed in that plan are accessible for people living with dementia.

The National Health Service in England will continue to work closely with stakeholders, including the Alzheimer’s Society, to ensure that digitised health services work for everyone and reflect the needs of people trying to stay healthy as well as those with complex conditions.

A National Implementation Framework for the Long Term Plan will be published in the spring, and will provide further information. Additional details, based on local health system five year plans, will be brought together in a detailed national implementation plan in the autumn.
