Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Health Needs of Persons with Dementia and the Services Available: Discussion

9:30 am

Mr. Andy Heffernan:

With regard to early-onset dementia services, my colleague spoke about some of the research she is doing. We are currently looking to design younger-onset friendly specific services this year. We got some additional funding in budget 2024 and we are looking to prove that concept in a number of areas around the country. We want to make sure we do the right thing first and that we can trial and pilot. If it is what people with early-onset or younger-onset dementia want, we can build on it and roll it out further.
