Dementia diagnosisIt is completely immoral to incentivise diagnosis, Diagnosis decisions should be made based on the individuals presentation, and their needs and readiness to deal with this, not the state of the Dr's holiday fund. Surely the issue should be about timely diagnosis, when the person is ready to face this, and there is support available to assist the individual come to terms with this and make decisions, rather than early diagnosis and abandoned. In Scotland we use our money much more wisely, as a result we have a guarantee of one year post diagnostic support to assist people come to terms with their diagnosis, make plans for the future and get linked into the appropriate services.
