Petition Fund Specialist Care & Automatic NHS Continuing Care for dementia patients
We urge the UK Government to provide funding to ensure every dementia patient stays under specialist care and receives automatic NHS Continuing Healthcare. We think no one should face the heartbreak of dementia without proper care, support, and compassion.
More details
Dementia is a cruel disease that affects the whole family. Yet patients may be left in the care of GPs who lack the specialist training to manage their complex needs. Families may be left to cope alone, often without financial or emotional support. We call on the UK Government to provide funding to ensure all dementia patients remain under specialist care and automatically qualify for NHS Continuing Healthcare. Every person facing dementia deserves dignity, expert care, and support.
