Research review finds 'disconnect' in care planning between dementia patients and health care teams

People with dementia are legally entitled to have a say in their treatment but are rarely included when it comes to their care planning, according to a review of research. There are around 1 million people aged 65 or over with the condition in the UK, according to the Alzheimer's Society, and there are more than 70,000 people with young onset dementia.
