Dementia Strategy
As you will be aware SCA contributed to the development of a five year Surrey Dementia and Older Peoples Mental Health Joint Commissioning Strategy. The thrust of the strategy is to modernise dementia services and achieve the requirement of the national dementia strategy.
In March five local implementation workshops were held across Surrey, SCA providers were represented on all five groups. The purpose of the groups was to bring together key stakeholders to work on raising awareness and ownership of the strategy, to discuss and recognise local services and identify how efficiencies might be made across the whole system by identifying priority investments for establishing services for the future. These report outline the outcomes from each of these groups and an overall report. We have also attached a copy of the Strategy for your information. Thanks Valerie.
