Seanad
‹ Order of Business Dementia care and support
Summary
Senator Mullen calls for a debate on dementia policy, including timely diagnosis, post-diagnosis support and coordinated, person-centred care.
I thank the Cathaoirleach and will conclude by stating the declaration calls for the right to a timely diagnosis of the condition, the right to access quality post-diagnosis support and the right to person-centred, co-ordinated, quality care throughout the illness. It is important that this House hold a debate on the challenges facing people with dementia and those who care for them.
