Formal agreements and joint plans exist and take place across sectors within the government for people with dementia. For example, the Government has launched the Dementia Community Support Scheme in 2017 to provide multi-disciplinary community support services through medical-social collaboration for persons with mild or moderate dementia and family carers. This scheme was steered by the Food and Health Bureau (FHB) in collaboration with Social Welfare Department (SWD) and Hospital Authority (HA) (Food and Health Bureau, 2017a, p. 25).
