Measure 2.5: Decreased number of people living with dementia experiencing stigma or discrimination and abuse
People living with dementia are at risk of experiencing stigma, discrimination, isolation and abuse. This can negatively impact their quality of life including emotional wellbeing, physical health, autonomy and identity.
There are no data currently available to track this measure of progress. Data development is underway, with ongoing work to improve the availability of national data to report on diagnostic and post-diagnostic care. Data from the recently conducted Living with Dementia Survey may be added to reporting when they become available.
