Mr. Kurita also introduced the process used to formulate the Basic Act on Dementia for an Inclusive Society and specific items included in that Act. Then, using specific examples, Mr. Kurita explained how dementia policies are developed at local governments, which is an area where full-scale efforts are set to advance in the future.
