For healthcare, Hospital Authority is the main coordinator of dementia care. For long-term care, Social Welfare Department and the NGO-operated District Elderly Community Centres are the main coordinators. Since the implementation of Dementia Community Support Scheme in 2017, the two sectors have been collaborating more closely and frequently in the management of dementia care (Social Welfare Department, 2020c).
