Plans to transform dementia care across Greater Essex have taken a major step forward with the launch of a new joined-up countywide dementia strategy.
Building on the pan-Essex mental health strategy announced in July a new Southend, Essex and Thurrock Dementia Strategy, ‘Let’s Talk Dementia’ launched yesterday at an event at Chelmsford City racecourse.
Nearly 20,000 people are estimated to be living with dementia in Essex, and this is set to increase to over 25,000 in the next ten years.
