Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Baroness Murphy (Crossbench). It was answered on Monday, 18 January 2010.


Health: Dementia

Question
What outcome measures will the Government adopt to monitor whether money given to primary care trusts and local authorities is wisely spent?
Answer

We regard that as a very important part of the strategy. The £150 million that is available this year and next is not ring-fenced but will go to PCTs in the same way as the rest of their funding. We know that it is very important that we set up structures to monitor that, which indeed we have done. I expect that I shall be reporting to the House at some point in the future on exactly how effective that has been.
