We of course consider any new report that shows how we can improve the services in rural areas. But, across Wales, of course, we’ve funded an information pack with regard to living with dementia, and that has been welcomed by the professionals working in the field, people suffering with dementia and their families and carers. And, of course, there is a helpline available on a daily basis—it’s available 24/7 throughout the year, and it can give emotional support to those who have been diagnosed with dementia and those who care for them. Those are some of the ways in which we've ensured that the support is available, not only for the sufferers, but for their carers, too.
