The National Dementia Strategy Implementation Programme which accompanies the National Dementia Strategy and is co-funded by the Health Service Executive and the Atlantic Philanthropies, includes the roll-out of a programme of Intensive Home Supports and Home Care Packages for people with dementia.

As this is a service matter it has been referred to the Health Service Executive for direct reply. If the Deputy has not received a reply from the HSE within 15 working days please contact my Private Office and they will follow up the matter with them.
