Abstract
This audit is concerned with identifying the current
provision of services and resources for people with
dementia in Ireland. The audit is one part of a larger
partnership study between the Centre for Economic
and Social Research on Dementia and the Health
Service Executive. The wider context for the audit is
the National Dementia Strategy (NDS), which describes
the need for integrated services and supports for
people with dementia and action required to critically
review health and personal social services for people
with dementia to identify gaps in existing provision.
Data on a range of services that are used by people
with dementia in 2018 are collated in this report. The
scope includes services directly provided by the HSE,
services provided by voluntary organisations that
are at least partly funded by the HSE and services
that are contracted to private organisations (such
as home support) that are fully funded by the HSE.
Private or voluntary organisations or individuals that
provide dementia-specific services but are not funded
by the HSE were not included. Further detail on
data sources, limitations and other notes associated
with the highlights in this summary are to be found
in the tables identified for each summary point.
