That the Parliament applauds Argyll and West Dunbartonshire Police Division on launching a new initiative aimed at helping to identify dementia sufferers who become lost, confused or disorientated within their local community; notes that the Dementia Safeguarding Tag is to be introduced after an increase in the number of calls to local police relating to people with dementia; understands that the scheme is the first of its kind in Scotland, and that Argyll and West Dunbartonshire Police Division funded the cost of the devices; appreciates the work of Chief Superintendent Lynn Ratcliff and the officers at Police Scotland who have assisted in the creation of the scheme, and wishes the project every success for the future.
