Dementia Friendly Prestwick

Lodged by John Scott Standard Motion 31 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament welcomes the recent launch of Dementia Friendly Prestwick; commends the scheme’s introduction of best practice from countries such as Japan and the USA; understands that 90,000 people in Scotland live with dementia and 76% of Scots know someone who has dementia or cares for someone with the condition; recognises that dementia can be an isolating condition with diverse care needs; welcomes steps by Alzheimer Scotland to tackle stigma around the condition during Dementia Awareness Week; believes that dementia friendly communities will have an increasingly important role to play as Scotland’s population ages and dementia increases, and congratulates local Prestwick businesses on their engagement with the scheme.
