The Mental Health Review Report (MHRR) outlines the burden of dementia, health and social care services for persons with dementia and their family carers, approaches to enhance dementia care, integrated community care and intervention model for dementia, and recommendations for dementia care (Food and Health Bureau, 2017a).

The Elderly Services Programme Plan (ESPP) covers the principle of active ageing, community care services and carer support, residential care services, assessment mechanism and case management, dementia care services, and end-of-life care for older people. In terms of collaboration, partnership, and interfacing with other sectors, it recommends more effective partnerships between welfare, healthcare, and housing sectors. To meet the diverse needs and expectations of the elderly population, it emphasises the interface between multiple providers of services among various sectors, including subsidised services, self-financed services, and private services (Working Group on Elderly Services Programme Plan, 2017, p. 40).
