Dementia working group, Midland Health Board, progress report, February, 2004.

In August 2002, the Midland Health Board working group on dementia commissioned a piece of research to obtain an overview of what staff perceived as the most pressing needs for the delivery of a quality dementia service, and to investigate some possible solutions to the current difficulties. A series of focus groups were run over two months, consulting staff from both residential and community care settings. A full report of the findings can be found in the document "Consultation Process with Staff within the Midland Health Board on the Needs of Older People with Dementia", which is available from Anna de Siun, Clinical Audit and Research.
