Decision details

To approve a new updated Dementia Strategy.

The committee received a report in respect of the contents of the draft Cheshire East Place Dementia Strategy which had been developed in with the Cheshire Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG). Approval was being sought to formally consult on the draft strategy. The strategy would also require approval by the CCG Programme Development Group as it was a joint strategy.

The Committee welcomed the report and the following comments were made by various members of the Committee:

·         Consideration to be given to the wording/section on page 14 of the strategy ‘What is good for your heart is also good for your brain’.

·         Would like to have seen more emphasis in relation to the preparation and diagnosis of dementia;

·         Consideration to be given to raising awareness of the ‘Dementia Friends Project’ to be included within the strategy.

RESOLVED:-

That formal consultation on the draft Cheshire East Place Dementia Strategy be approved.

The committee adjourned for a short break.
