11.02. Policy gaps | Hong Kong SAR

22 Aug 2022

There is currently no dementia-specific policy and plan in Hong Kong. Although the Government acknowledged the need to set out a dementia-specific policy and engaged a wide range of stakeholders in the review of dementia care and elderly service, the role and responsibilities of these stakeholders in the way onward were never clearly spelled out. In addition, there is no recognised/official dementia-specific government unit nor representative who is responsible for the formulation of dementia policy.
