    AbstractThe number of people with dementia is set to rise to 1.4 million over the next 30 years. The National Dementia Strategy's objectives are to improve awareness, diagnosis, intervention and care. The strategy's objectives outline the need for a pathway of care that delivers specialist assessment, treatment and support with capacity to see all new cases in an area. The initial five year strategy implementation was backed by pound 150m over the first two years. Cost-effectiveness analysis indicates that enhanced memory services can improve care quality and save hundreds of millions of pounds over 10 years.
