Improving the care and support for people of all ages with dementia is a priority for this Government. That is why, in February 2015, we published the Challenge on Dementia 2020, which sets out the broad vision for improving dementia care, support, awareness and research by 2020.<\/p>
<\/p>
It is for clinical commissioning groups and local authorities, working together, to ensure that the high quality, personalised services envisaged by the Challenge are delivered for people with dementia and their carers.<\/p>

Public Health England has made dementia risk reduction one of its key public health priorities, with the aim of reducing the prevalence and incidence of dementia amongst 65-74 year olds. A key element of risk reduction is the NHS Health Check Scheme though which patients aged 65-74 have the opportunity to discuss the signs and symptoms of dementia with their doctor and to be signposted to memory services if appropriate.<\/p>

In addition, our new programme of intensive support for 18-21 year olds was introduced in April 2017, and is being rolled-out in line with the roll-out schedule for Universal Credit Full Service. As part of this programme, claimants are referred to tailored support drawn from a wide menu of locally available provision, which includes Prince\u2019s Trust programmes.<\/p>

Instead of focussing services on the Departments of Community Mental Health (DCMHs), we now have 20 permanent locations available for Service personnel requiring mental healthcare, made up of a mixture of 11 DCMHs, six Mental Health Teams (MHTs), and three locations with a permanent Community Mental Health Nurse. The review that initiated this change sought to ensure safe, equitable, quality provision, ensuring all patients access to confidential, professional mental healthcare services.<\/p> More recently, in July 2017, we published the Mental Health and Wellbeing Strategy setting out measures we are taking to further improve the mental health of the Armed Forces and veterans. This includes developing innovative new partnerships with charities, such as that announced in October last year with the Royal Foundation, aimed at helping maintain and develop good mental fitness.<\/p> And only last week the Secretary of State announced that we will be building on our existing partnership with Combat Stress to provide a new Ministry of Defence-funded 24/7 Military Mental Health Helpline for serving personnel, which will link into the existing services provided by Combat Stress for veterans and their families. We will also be providing an additional £2million of annual funding for military mental health services, on top of the £20million a year we already spend.<\/p>"}
