| Annotation | In order to understand better how much information is shared with people who are diagnosed with dementia, a questionnaire was sent to 20 memory disorder clinics in England, Scotland and Eire. The authors report their findings as to whether clinics had a policy for sharing diagnosis, how they did this, what terminology was used, and what support services were available afterwards. |
