Dementia Services

The hon. Gentleman has made an important point with which we are all wrestling: how one can put portability into effect, on the ground, so that if one had to move between areas, there would not be a postcode lottery—as he put it—in the delivery of services. I hope that he has something to say—he might have been coming to this—about how a national standard assessment of care need might look. The Government have yet to answer that important question.
