The study wasframed by preceding literature reviews and a postal questionnaire survey of serviceproviders.Relevance - The range of people interviewed, and the use of different ‘case study’local authority areas within the South West, should mean that results find resonancewith users and providers of services throughout the United Kingdom.Original Contribution - The main original contribution of this study relates to theinclusion of the views of people with dementia from marginalised groups (and theircarers), whose voices have been largely absent from the literature to date.
