Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Baroness Greengross (Crossbench). It was answered on Wednesday, 2 December 2009.
Dementia
- Question
- Does the Minister agree with the Nuffield Council that much more needs to be done to include people with dementia in society as equals? What action will her department take to make the services that people use every day, such as shops, restaurants and leisure services, more dementia-friendly?
- Answer
-
The noble Baroness raises another important point. The Disability Discrimination Act says that shops and other places where anybody with a disability might go should be friendly for their use. Part of the problem is ignorance about this. We are launching a public awareness campaign about dementia in the new year.
