Question for written answer E-001905/2024
to the Commission
Rule 144
Hilde Vautmans (Renew)
According to WHO estimates, dementia will become the third most common cause of mortality in Europe next year. However, the mission letter from Commission President von der Leyen does not mention dementia. Beyond the impact on patients and their families and friends, we must also consider the significant societal cost of inaction.
- 1.In light of this, is there a commitment to developing a European action plan on dementia?
- 2.How will the Commission ensure that this action plan addresses the full spectrum of dementia, including prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and care?
- 3.What steps does the Commission plan to take to coordinate efforts with national governments and motivate Member States to develop and implement their national dementia strategies?
