The Department of Health has announced the successful applicants for stage 1 of the £50 million funding of capital projects to improve care environments for people with dementia.
In accordance with the published application guidance, the evaluation of stage 1 expressions of interest bids has been completed and successful applicants are listed in the document below.
The document gives details of the organisations and their projects that have been approved to move forward and develop the stage 2 ‘committed to proceed’ applications.
The Department will be writing to each of these organisations outlining specific details of individual approvals and highlighting main national pilot development requirements.
The Department will provide feedback by email, if requested, to those who were unsuccessful, but owing to the volume of interest the Department will not be able to answer telephone calls relating to individual feedback. To request feedback, please email DementiaCapital@dh.gsi.gov.uk.
