DESK REVIEW | 04.03.17. Are there named (key) stakeholders in the policy document? If yes, who are they and what is their role?

The National Policy for Older People’s Health stated in 2006 that some local, state, and municipal managers’ experiences were important for the establishment of the policy. However, no details about specific experiences and names of these managers were mentioned in the document (Fernandes & Soares, 2012).

NZ Dementia Framework:

There is no specific named stakeholder in the dementia framework but it does note that “The framework provides DHBs and the health and social support sectors with a guide for developing their dementia care pathways”.

Dementia Action plan:

Does not name any key stakeholder but does suggest lead organisations for each of the priority action areas, such as dementia associations, academic researchers, and DHBs.

Not applicable as there is no dementia-specific policy or plan for South Africa.
