Question
What steps is the Government taking to support people suffering from dementia and their families?
Answer
Answered by Deputy Minister for Social Care, Mental Health and Women’s Health (Delyth Jewell)
The Welsh Government provides £12.7 million annually to Regional Partnership Boards across Wales to improve dementia services and strengthen joint working between health, social care and voluntary-sector organisations.
The Welsh Government is committed to ensuring we continue to make progress on dementia care and support in Wales, and this will be driven forward in a new Dementia Strategy that will focus on brain health, improving diagnosis and strengthening support for those living with dementia. We recently consulted on a draft Dementia Strategy, and these responses are informing our final strategy due to be published in early 2027.
