Answer
Implementation of the Atlantic Philanthropies/Delivering Social Change Dementia strategy is being taken forward on a regional basis by a project team led by the Health and Social Care Board and the Public Health Agency, working in close collaboration with all five Health and Social Care Trusts, including the Northern Trust.
Funding is currently available to enable the three work streams to run until 2017.
There will be close engagement with a wide range of stakeholders including the voluntary and community sector, academics, and the business sector. Task groups and focus groups emerging from the work streams will include people living with dementia and their carers.
