NZ Dementia framework:

The framework does acknowledge the need for “Health and social support services [to] promote earlier recognition of dementia and participation within their communities” and that the aim is to “provide a positive experience of care and support by strengthening the culture of partnership and engagement with both the person with dementia and their family and whānau.”

Dementia Action Plan:

The Dementia plan acknowledges inequities in availability and access to services. Equity is one of the eight principles of the dementia plan and is acknowledged in the action area on supporting people living with dementia and their family/whānau “services must be equitable in terms of access, tailored to individuals’ needs, and their quality must be assured”.
