Exploratory pilot study on resource allocation along the dementia continuum under constrained and unconstrained budget scenarios.

ABSTRACT:

Background

People with dementia and their carers have a wide range of health and social care needs which vary along the dementia continuum. The government response to events and transitions at various stages of the continuum can have a substantial impact on the lived experience of dementia and to resource allocation decision-making. Hearing what practitioners have to say about need at various points of transition along the dementia continuum is very important, especially for the resource allocation process.

Methods
