To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, on what terms dementia care specialists have been employed by the NHS in Derbyshire in each of the last five years.
Stephen Kinnock
Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care)
This information is not held centrally.
Care for those living with dementia is provided by multidisciplinary teams, with many elements of this care being in place for many years. This includes, but is not limited to, general practitioners, nurses, speech and language therapists, physiotherapists, and social workers.
Provision of dementia health care services is the responsibility of local integrated care boards (ICBs). NHS England would expect ICBs to commission services based on local population needs, taking account of the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence guidelines.
