Scottish Parliament Cross Party Group on Alzheimer's

The Cross Party Group on Alzheimer's brings together Members of the Scottish Parliament with organisations representing the interests of people with dementia.

Recent work includes a review of NHS health board procedures for people with dementia using accident and emergency services. The Scottish Government accepted the reports recommendations and has written to NHS health boards to issue guidance.

The Cross Party Group report is available on our website at:

The Scottish Government's guidance is also available on our website at:
