Prime Minister's Challenge on dementia

The purpose of the report is to set out what progress has been made against key commitments and actions published in the Prime Minister Challenge on dementia. It aims to share how key interventions are starting to make a difference for people with dementia, their families and carers. It sets out how the three Champion Groups have gone further and faster than originally foreseen.

It also sets out plans for the coming months - there is still much to do and what's been achieved so far are the building blocks for improvement. We hope the report can be a vehicle to help galvanise greater support and engagement across society to help the champion groups deliver their ambitions.We know that people with dementia are excluded from the society they live in, putting untold pressures on family carers and enormous reliance on charities that can reach some but by no means all.
