THE charity Alzheimer Scotland has welcomed news that people with dementia will be invited to join a new independent national panel to help shape Scottish Government policy.
Announced at the beginning of Dementia Awareness Week, minister for mental wellbeing and social care Kevin Stewart commented: “The voice of experience is a crucial part of our policy making process, and making sure that it is factored in as early as possible in making important decisions is key to improving services across the country.
