Explaining about…making progress on dementia

Abstract

2009 should be seen as the year for making real progress in the development of services for older people with dementia, as well as services for older people with other mental health problems. It is also likely to herald the beginning of major challenges to ensure that resources are available to support that development. In our first article, Toby Williamson reports on the publication of the national dementia strategy for England, together with other important developments and the challenges. He also describes some initiatives that have important links to dementia care and the future of mental health services for older people.
