Improving dementia services is recognised as a key priority for the NHS - both nationally and locally. National goals for diagnosis by 2020: * Achieve and maintain a diagnosis rate of at least two-thirds of the expected prevalence * Increase the number of people being diagnosed with dementia and starting treatment within 6 weeks of referral. National goals for post diagnostic support by 2020: * Improve quality of post-diagnostic treatment and support for people with dementia and their carers. * All people with dementia given the opportunity for advance care planning. In 2017/18, Brighton & Hove CCG was rated by NHS England as 'inadequate' on dementia and has committed to improving access to diagnosis and support for all people living with cognitive impairment or a diagnosis of dementia and their carers. Brighton & Hove CCG will hold a second market engagement event on 5th June 2019 to provide further detail on the procurement of a new Memory Assessment and Post Diagnostic Support Service for people living with dementia.
