Abstract
The accessibility of dementia services to two groups of marginalised service users (people under 65 years of age and people from minority ethnic groups) was examined as part of a UK field study. In 61 interviews with a purposeful sample of professionals and paid carers in dementia care, the main issue in service access related to the small numbers of potential service users and their geographical dispersal. Other issues reflected those faced by people with dementia in general. At present, it seems as though decisions on care are based mainly on financial considerations and perceptions of the risk and dangerousness posed by people with dementia. These findings are linked to broader debates within the social model of disability about the need to address issues relating to people with learning impairments.
