People affected by dementia are being invited to an open meeting tomorrow to hear more about a proposed strategy and the priorities for the future of health and social care.
Anyone living or working with the condition or who has an interest in dementia can hear more about the proposals for the future at the meeting in The Kings Centre, Queen Anne's Road, Yarmouth at 4pm.
Health and social care bosses from NHS Great Yarmouth and Waveney, NHS Norfolk and Norfolk County Council will speak about a joint strategy for the future of services as part of a public consultation around a draft joint commissioning strategy Living Well with Dementia.
The public meeting on Wednesday is part of an ongoing consultation about the plans until February 22, 2010.
Dementia is caused when parts of the brain stop working properly. There is no cure for the condition, which gets more common with age.
There have been a number of public meetings held all over Norfolk as part of the consultation. After Wednesday's event in Yarmouth there will be one more public meeting at The Assembly Rooms, Theatre Street, Norwich, NR2 1RQ on February 10 from 4pm to 7pm.
