To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what recent discussions he has had with NHS England on improving access to speech and language therapy for people with Primary Progressive Aphasia.
Stephen Kinnock
Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care)
The Government is committed to improving care for everyone with dementia, including those with primary progressive aphasia.
That is why we have funded the work of the D100: Assessment Tool Pathway programme, which brings together multiple resources into a single, consolidated tool. This will help to simplify best practice for busy system leaders and create communities and services where the best possible care and support is available to those with dementia.
A number of experts, including those with expertise in speech and language therapy and dementia care, provided independent, desktop analysis of the tool, and this invaluable feedback was integrated into the revised edition. The D100: Pathway Assessment Tool is available at the following link:
