Dementia, including a dementia diagnosis target, has been removed from the NHS Operational Planning Guidance. This is a step backwards and sends the message that dementia doesn't matter. #DementiaDeservesDiagnosis

🚨 Breaking news The new @NHSEngland planning guidance published today contains nothing on dementia. Like you, we think that’s unacceptable. Dementia is a priority. Diagnosis is a priority. We cannot ignore the UK's biggest killer anymore. #DementiaDeservesDiagnosis

This Christmas, you may notice some differences to the messages between programmes on ITV. That’s because for the first time, we’ve partnered with ITV to run a special campaign from 23-31 December, and we’re thrilled that @‌RuthieeL will be the voice behind the campaign. (1/6)
