The English version of the urgent recommendations has been posted. (October 21, 2022)
The Health and Global Policy Institute (HGPI) Dementia Policy Project has presented urgent recommendations regarding the Basic Act for Dementia titled, “Enact the Basic Act for Dementia to Reshape Perceptions of Dementia.”
For details, please see the PDF linked below.
Due to various circumstances including the COVID-19 pandemic, discussions have yet to conclude on the Basic Act on Dementia which was submitted to the Diet by representatives of the Liberal Democratic Party and Komeito in 2019. In 2021, a bipartisan Diet caucus called the Parliamentary Association for Promoting Dementia Policies for an Inclusive Society was established and discussions on the Basic Act on Dementia have now resumed. Expectations for progress in those discussions are high. In July 2022, HGPI presented policy recommendations titled, “The Future of Dementia Policy 2022: Deepening Dementia Policies Centered on People Living with Dementia and their Families to Lead Global Society” that also call for the rapid enactment of the Basic Act on Dementia ahead of the G7 Hiroshima Summit in 2023. These urgent recommendations call for concrete discussions on revising the Basic Act on Dementia and ensuring it is enacted during the next ordinary session of the Diet in 2023.
