The Scottish Government (SG), on behalf of the Scottish Ministers, wishes to commission an independent evaluation which will contribute to ambitions of the New dementia strategy for Scotland: Everyone's Story and the accompanying first two-year Delivery Plan (2024-2026). One of the key policy aims in Scotland’s new dementia strategy is improving on the uptake and delivery of post diagnostic support (PDS), which has been Scotland’s flagship policy in dementia for over 10 years. The findings from the evaluation will support decision making regarding the future direction of national PDS policy and/or the modification and widening out of existing PDS service models. It will also enable us to evidence the efficacy and potential for improvements to access, uptake and quality.
