Conclusion (the committee's words)
We have heard of the importance of receiving a timely diagnosis for people with dementia and their carers. We appreciate that the covid-19 pandemic will undoubtably have played a part in the recent decline in diagnosis rates which was previously on target. We also welcome the funding NHS England and Improvement has committed to bring the diagnosis rate back to the target of two thirds of those estimated to have dementia.
