PDF 2 MBMinutes:
Background:
The report provided an overview of the final report of the in-depth Dementia Task Group review on ‘How far Medway has gone in developing a Dementia Friendly Community?’
It was noted that the recommendations aimed to complement the wide variety of work already being undertaken by the Council and partners to implement the Council’s Dementia Strategy. The review had a particular focus on how Medway Council and its partners could lead by example to help make Medway a Dementia Friendly Community. This included services that the Council directly controls and those, which while not directly under the control of the Council, it could influence through partnership working.
The report provided details of the comments of the Health and Wellbeing Board (14 March 2017), the Health and Adult Social Care Overview and Scrutiny Committee (16 March 2017) and the Regeneration, Culture and Environment Overview and Scrutiny Committee (28 March 2017).
A Diversity Impact Assessment (DIA) was included at Appendix 1 to the report.
