<p>Dementia care is supported by both NHS and adult social care funding. As part of
the NHS’s cash increase of £33.9bn a year by 2023-24 and outlined in their long-term
plan, the NHS will provide better support for people with dementia through a more
active focus on supporting people in the community. And over three years (2017-18
to 2019-20) we have given councils access to up to around £10bn more dedicated funding
for adult social care.</p><p> </p>The Spending Review represents an opportunity to
consider public spending priorities in the round, and the Treasury will be working
closely with departments on funding issues, and with a renewed focus on delivering
outcomes.
