Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, with reference to the Alzheimer's Society report entitled Left to Cope Alone, published in June 2022, if she will make an assessment of the potential merits of using the Quality and Outcomes Framework to help improve post-diagnostic support for people living with dementia.

The 2022/23 Quality and Outcomes Framework incentivises practices to provide annual face-to-face reviews with patients diagnosed with dementia, in which the patient’s care plan is reviewed. Regular review can assist in ensuring that any changes in care needs are addressed.
