The NHS South of England Dementia Challenge 2012 is for Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs), working with local authorities, Health and Wellbeing Boards, the NHS, the voluntary and community and independent sectors, universities, industry, and people with lived experience, to identify and implement practical solutions to the problems faced by people living with dementia.
This Fund of at least £10 million provides an opportunity for local communities across the South to respond to the Prime Minister’s Dementia Challenge, which he launched on 26 March 2012. Geoff Harris (NHS SoE Chairman) has highlighted five opportunities that he proposes bids address.
The lead applicant should be a Clinical Commissioning Group from NHS South of England, who should work in partnership with local government, NHS providers, the voluntary and independent sectors and other organisations.
PLEASE NOTE: This fund is open to Clinical Commissioning Groups and local partners in the South of England only.
Clinical Commissioning Groups are invited to submit Expressions of Interest to [email protected] by Tuesday 31 July 2012. Completed applications must be submitted to [email protected] by Friday 07 September 2012.
