Answer

I was recently provided with a copy of this report and also the report entitled “The Fog of Support” by the Alzheimer’s Society.

It is important to learn from our experiences during the pandemic and to consider any new ways of working which have been developed. I have therefore forwarded both reports to the Chief Executives of all five Health and Social Care Trusts and have asked them to consider their contents with the view to improving our services going forward.
