A general election will be held in the Republic of Ireland on Saturday, 8 February 2020. The Alzheimer Society of Ireland (ASI)’s slogan for this election campaign is: ”Deliver on Dementia – Time to End the Crisis”. The ASI is demanding that dementia must be included in the new “Programme for Government” and is calling on the assistance of the Irish public to make this happen.
The Irish public is being encouraged to ask local governmental candidates in Election 2020 to make a pledge to “Deliver on Dementia” in the next Programme for Government to ensure:
● Full implementation of the Irish National Dementia Strategy ● Home care for everybody with dementia ● Dementia is included in the Chronic Disease Management Programme.
The Alzheimer Society of Ireland is the main voice for those people with dementia and their families, who are currently under a massive emotional and financial strain, as there are just too many black holes across the country where people are forced to put up with inadequate services and supports.
