Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what recent assessment he has made of the adequacy of treatment provision for people diagnosed with early onset dementia.

No such assessment has been made.

Once a diagnosis of dementia has been made, each person and their carer should be offered a care plan and post-diagnostic support that is appropriate to their needs.

Clinical commissioning groups and local authorities have a responsibility to commission services that best meet the needs of their populations, including those diagnosed with early-onset dementia.

The Dementia Atlas is an interactive online resource which allows people to review how well their area is performing against a range of measures across the Dementia Well Pathway from diagnosis through to end of life care.

The Atlas is available at:
