Yes. I was at an event myself, a week last Friday, where the Alzheimer’s Society were present, and we talked about the issues surrounding becoming a dementia friend and the training that’s required to do that and, of course, as a Government we support that. Dementia cafes, we know, provide people with dementia, their families, and carers with the opportunity to meet in a friendly and relaxed environment where they can share experiences and, of course, offer peer support—hugely important as well. Expanding the availability of that support is an example of what we’re looking to achieve through the forthcoming dementia strategic action plan.
