The Government adopts a multi-disciplinary and cross-sectoral approach in the provision of dementia care services. The Mental Health Review Report (MHRR) presents integrated service components within the existing care for persons with dementia. A table summarising these components can be found in p.174 of the report (Food and Health Bureau, 2017a, p. 174).

Besides, it proposes a medical-social collaboration model to deliver care services along to the continuum of care at different stage of dementia in a more cost-effective and sustainable way. The model can be found at p.181 of the report (Food and Health Bureau, 2017a, p. 181).
