P-04-456 Dementia - This Could Happen to you
We, the
undersigned, call on the National Assembly for Wales to urge the Welsh
Government to:
i. Bring to an end
the discrimination against dementia sufferers in Wales who apply for N.H.S. Continuing
Care Funding, by allowing for the cognition category of need (known as the ‘domain’) to go up to the
level ’Severe’ in the Welsh version of the Decision Support Tool. This would bring it
in line with the English version; and
ii. Direct Local Health
Boards to implement the National Framework for N.H.S., Continuing Care Funding
correctly in terms of patient eligibility and without regard to budgetary
constraints.’
