Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask His Majesty's Government what role will early detection of dementia play within their 10 Year Health Plan to close the diagnostic gap, in light of the statistic from the Alzheimer's Society that more than a third of people living with dementia in the United Kingdom remain undiagnosed.

We recognise the importance of a timely diagnosis and remain committed to increasing diagnosis rates and ensuring that people can access any licensed and National Institute for Health and Care Excellence recommended treatment and/or support they need.

Our health system has struggled to support those with complex needs, including those with dementia. Under the 10-Year Plan, those living with dementia will benefit from improved care planning and better services. We will deliver the first ever Modern Service Framework for Frailty and Dementia to deliver rapid and significant improvements in quality of care and productivity.
