@issybryonyh Ahhh great. Will take a look tomorrow and probably every weekend until Feb… Will be lovely to see how they bed in over the seasons. The walled garden is very special there.
Enjoyable event tonight by @reformscotland@chrisdeerin and @cstreetpartners with @Ivan_McKee. Many questions but good to hear the current govt perspective after 18 years in power, particularly heading into an election year.
Delighted to host Public Finance Minister @Ivan_McKee for a speech and Q&A on public service reform. The event was chaired by @chrisdeerin & in partnership with @cstreetpartners. The full event will be available to watch back on our website from tomorrow.
Some years I don’t know what to say. It’s 29 now and those dark days are never far from my mind. Spare a wee thought for my hometown of Dunblane today.❤️

Enjoyed meeting @sarah4bridgend and talking about how we can get the next Dementia Action Plan in Wales to be ambitious, deliverable and accountable. Looking forward to more conversations.
This afternoon, we had the pleasure of meeting @Sarah4Bridgend, Welsh Minister for Mental Health & Wellbeing.
It was great to reflect on learnings from the previous Dementia Action Plan for the next one.
We look forward to working together!
Head of Policy Jen Keen writes about why we don't need to wait to improve social care. There are tangible, implementable and cost effective changes we can make now to improve social care. Dementia training is one such change, and the consensus behind it is growing all the time.
We were pleased to welcome the Health Minister to our Belfast office today. With dementia cases in NI projected to rise by 51% by 2040, urgent action is needed. We look forward to working with @healthdpt and the SPPG to drive transformation in dementia care and support.
Productive meeting with Department of Health officials Dr. McBride, Peter Toogood & Mark McGuicken to discuss our report, 'Because We Are Human Too.' We highlighted our policy priorities for social care, mandatory dementia training & advocate to make dementia a priority.
Thank you @ShockatAdam for supporting our call for mandatory dementia training for the adult social care workforce, and asking for time to debate this issue to ensure that care staff have the training they need provide high-quality care and support for people living with dementia
Ruth Barry, National Influencing Manager, features in the latest edition @agendani discussing the urgent issue of #Dementia. With its growing impact, we cannot afford to ignore this crisis now & in the future.
