Abstract

This audit is concerned with identifying the current provision of services and resources for people with dementia in Ireland. The audit is one part of a larger partnership study between the Centre for Economic and Social Research on Dementia and the Health Service Executive. The wider context for the audit is the National Dementia Strategy (NDS), which describes the need for integrated services and supports for people with dementia and action required to critically review health and personal social services for people with dementia to identify gaps in existing provision. Data on a range of services that are used by people with dementia in 2018 are collated in this report. The scope includes services directly provided by the HSE, services provided by voluntary organisations that are at least partly funded by the HSE and services that are contracted to private organisations (such as home support) that are fully funded by the HSE. Private or voluntary organisations or individuals that provide dementia-specific services but are not funded by the HSE were not included. Further detail on data sources, limitations and other notes associated with the highlights in this summary are to be found in the tables identified for each summary point.
