Dementia: Southampton
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, how much funding his Department plans to allocate to Southampton in support of dementia services over the next five years.
- Answer
-
Information on how much funding will be allocated to dementia services in Southampton over the next five years is not available centrally.
NHS England allocates funding to clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) which commission services on behalf of their local populations. It is for CCGs to decide how best to use the funding allocated to them in line with local healthcare needs and priorities.
Additionally, people with a diagnosis of dementia may also qualify for social care support. Eligibility for such support is based on the care needs of the individual concerned, and not by a diagnosis or having a particular condition.
