β¦ Synopsis
Nine policy preoccupations have been identified in a recent study of dementia care policies in all European countries. These are used to structure a set of issues which researchers might usefully address to assist service planners and policy-makers. Areas where there is already a research literature are identified. Some description and commentary on the application of current policies in the UK is provided to illustrate the need for research. It is suggested that service planners and policy-makers march to some distant drum which is only remotely related to research, if at all. However, the importance of a research base is stressed with the suggestion that research in related fields could usefully be transferred.
