<p>NHS England is committed to delivering high quality care and support for every
person with dementia at every age, and central to this is the provision of personalised
care. 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.</p><p> </p><p>The Dementia Well Pathway includes diagnosing
well, living well, supporting well, and dying well, and highlights that services need
to be integrated, commissioned, monitored, and aligned with the National Institute
for Health and Care Excellence’s (NICE) standards for each component of the pathway.
It makes it clear that individual needs, wishes and preferences should be taken into
account in planning and providing care.</p><p> </p><p>In January 2023 the Government
announced that it will publish a Major Conditions Strategy early 2024. By bringing
dementia and other conditions strategies together, we will be able to focus on where
there are similarities in approach and ensure care is better centred around the patient.</p>
