Dementia remains a key priority for the Government. We will implement the Prime Minister\u2019s Challenge on Dementia 2020 (published in February 2015) in full to make sure the lives of those with dementia are transformed by 2020.<\/p>
<\/p>
Working with our partners, we continue to make progress against the ambitions set in the March 2016 Implementation Plan which details how the commitments in the Challenge, across the four core themes of risk reduction, health and care, awareness and social action, and research will be met. This is reflected in the specific expectation set in the mandate to NHS England 2018/19 that two thirds of people living with dementia should receive a formal diagnosis. As of October 2018, the dementia diagnosis rate was 67.9%.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4008", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Dame Caroline Dinenage"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Gosport"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Caroline Dinenage"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2018-11-20", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2018-11-20T15:37:58.543Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "17"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2018-11-15", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Dementia"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether he has targets for improvements to care and services for people with dementia over the period of this Parliament.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1409", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Mr Gregory Campbell"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "East Londonderry"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Mr Gregory Campbell"} ], "uin" : "191881"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1006004", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department of Health and Social Care"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1006004/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The quoted £45 million funding figure includes both revenue and capital funding elements: £30 million and £15 million respectively.<\/p>
<\/p>
NHS England made available up to £30 million of transformation funding over three years, with national funding conditional on match-funding from local commissioners. This funding was intended to support local areas with transitional costs associated with moving to a new community-based care model.<\/p>
<\/p>
The \u2018Building the right support\u2019 plan also committed NHS England to investing £15 million in capital schemes. Following the subsequent 2015 Spending Review, the transformation capital grants were increased to up to £20 million per year to be made available for the subsequent five years for investing in learning disability and autism capital projects.<\/p>
