Dementia is a national priority and we are already spending over £8 billion a year on dementia in health and social care. The mechanism for the audit of the first ever national dementia strategy, which I published last year, is under development. We will consider how money is spent as a whole in health and social care for people with dementia, and that will form part of a wider review of dementia services.
