The National Dementia Strategy will be reviewed in the first half of 2017. This review will examine progress to date and will consider how any issues arising should be addressed.

A National Dementia Strategy Monitoring Group, chaired by the Department of Health and including representatives of the Alzheimer Society of Ireland, clinicians, academics, the HSE's National Dementia Office, and those affected by the condition, is overseeing the Strategy's implementation, and this will include oversight of the coming Mid-Term Review.
