Written question asked by James McMurdock (Independent (affiliation)) on Monday, 13 July 2026, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Wednesday, 15 July 2026. It was answered by Stephen Kinnock (Labour) on Friday, 17 July 2026 on behalf of the Department of Health and Social Care.
Dementia: Nurses
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many Admiral Nurses are currently employed in England, broken down by Integrated Care Board.
- Answer
-
No assessment has been made of admiral nurses in England, who are developed and supported by Dementia UK as an independent charitable organisation.
Provision of dementia health services is the responsibility of local integrated care boards (ICBs). NHS England would expect ICBs to commission services, which may include admiral nurses, based on local population needs, taking account of National Institute for Health and Care Excellence guidelines.
The Frailty and Dementia Modern Service Framework will seek to reduce unwarranted variation and narrow inequality for those living with dementia and will set national standards for dementia care and redirect National Health Service priorities to provide the best possible care and support.
