Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform
Pre-Budget Submissions: Discussion with Civic Society Representatives
11:45 am
Mr. Maurice O'Connell:
One of the clear asks for us would be for the Minister to create enough reorganising of finances to effect a dementia strategy that would make a difference to ordinary people. If we do not have an effective dementia strategy, we need to bear in mind that we will be dealing with a population of 41,000 requiring dementia care, doubling every 20 years, and to do nothing in this context will lead to disaster.
