The Public Bodies (Joint Working) (Scotland) Act 2014 established the need for Integration Authorities to set up a Strategic Planning Group for the purpose of developing, finalising and reviewing their strategic plans, in accordance with section 32 (11) of the Act 2014. Strategic planning is central to the role that Integration Authorities have in commissioning and helping redesign local health and care services (Audit Scotland 2016).

This is Scotland’s third National Dementia Strategy. It is based on our learning developed from delivering the previous two strategies. Our first strategy was published in 2010 and focused on improving the quality of dementia services through more timely diagnosis and on better care and treatment. The second focused on improving post-diagnostic support and strengthening integrated and person-centred support.

The first was published in 2010 and focused on improving the quality of dementia services through more timely diagnosis and on better care and treatment, particularly in hospital settings. It began the process of the transformation of care across all sectors in anticipation of the growing number of people with dementia.
This strategy is about getting dementia care right. It is about advancing a reform agenda rather than rolling out a big programme of investment. The reality is that the strategy will be taken forward amidst the most stringent spending cuts for a generation.
1. This circular introduces new guidance on the provision of equipment and adaptations by local authorities and NHS Boards in Scotland. The annex to this circular sets out detailed guidance information and tools for local partnerships.
