Government working on a national plan for dementia
The Parliamentary Secretary for the Elderly and Community Care, Mario Galea on a visit to the Activity Centre of St Vincent de Paul Residence, said that ``dementia is a priority for the Government and during this legislature the Government has worked effectively in this field. The Government is working on a national plan for dementia which amongst other objectives aims to raise awareness of the condition and where possible, to diagnose the conditions at earlier stages of the dementia process.''
Scotland's first dementia strategy will improve care and support for sufferers, Public Health Minister Shona Robison has pledged.
