Dementia

Agreed the use of additional £100k to further develop the role of Dementia Connectors. A connector is allocated to the individual at the time of dementia diagnosis to help navigate the complex health and social care system to enable timely support. This takes away additional burden off the unpaid carer and the person with diagnosis.

Financial Reporting

Re-emphasised support for all colleagues in complying with financial reporting requirements for all funding streams relating to the RPB. Separate correspondence has been shared with all operational leads and financial colleagues to ensure accuracy of reporting for Q2.
