The Department will be undertaking further surveys with IPSOS, which are due to commence in April 2024. Once this is complete, we are committed to publishing all our findings.<\/p> <\/p>
It is the customers responsibility to choose whether to make an application for Universal Credit. There is no evidence to suggest any actions the Department has taken or should have taken are influencing that choice.<\/p>"}

On 21 February 2015, the Prime Minister launched his new Challenge on Dementia 2020, which builds on the achievements of the Prime Minister\u2019s challenge on dementia 2012-2015. It sets out the vision for dementia care, support, awareness and research to be transformed by 2020.<\/p>
Local authorities as well as clinical commissioning groups are responsible for funding and commissioning services based on their local population's needs and ensuring that the services they secure provide the best quality for local people.<\/p>
As part of the Spending Review, the Government announced that councils will be able to introduce a new social care precept. The social care precept gives local authorities that are facing significant pressures the freedom to raise council tax to help mitigate against these pressures. It puts money raising powers into the hands of local areas who best understand the need in their area and who are best placed to respond.<\/p>
Further, the Spending Review set out the Government\u2019s commitment to fund a Dementia Research Institute.<\/p>
