Over the next few weeks Community Health Councils (CHCs) across Wales will be asking people whose lives have been touched by dementia, or anyone who is a care giver, one simple question:
What could the NHS do better to support people, as well as their families and their carers, living with dementia?
They will be using a variety of methods to reach people including Twitter, a smartphone app, SMS text, face to face discussion, Freepost and a dedicated answerphone.
A spokesman said “We believe that the result will demonstrate the powerful voice of people with real experience of dementia and that it will have a genuine influence on the development of the Welsh Governments plans for a Dementia Strategy for Wales”.
CHC staff and members will be out and about speaking to people all over Wales during the next month. Additionally, people can tell them their “One Simple Thing” suggestion by using the following ways to contact them:-
