• CST was found to be a cost-effective intervention and offers value for money.
• National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) and Social Care Institute for Excellence (SCIE) guidance (2006) recommend that people with mild to moderate dementia should be given the opportunity to take part in a CST programme.
