Mental Health & Social Care Current Awareness Bulletin No. 372

Bulletin No. 372 has a larger than usual section on dementia which is topical given that this week the Secretary of State for Health, Jeremy Hunt, stated in his blog, according to the Evening Standard, that dementia was one of his four key priorities for the NHS. This follows on from his promise last month of £50 million for specialised care homes and wards for dementia sufferers.
