Dementia services in England are not getting the priority that was promised, the National Audit Office has said.
It urges the Department of Health to demonstrate that its dementia strategy, published last year, is not just words.
Public Accounts Committee chairman Edward Leigh said the Department of Health was in danger of not being able to follow up on its dementia strategy.
