台灣已邁入超高齡社會,立法院衛環委員會預計於週三、週四逐條審議「失智症基本法」草案,台灣失智症協會呼籲,應建立司法程序保障與支持機制,確保失智者公平近用司法,並納入認知促進與延緩失智措施,強化早期介入與功能維持,同時也推動預先規劃,保障自主與人格尊嚴。
台灣失智症協會指出,目前朝野立委已提出15個「失智症基本法」版本,整體而言,各版本均以保障失智者的人格尊嚴與基本權益為核心,重視失智者及其家庭的支持需求,並主張由行政院設置失智症政策推動委員會或小組,並由行政院院長擔任召集人,以強化跨部會統籌協調、資源整合及政策督導。
台灣失智症協會認為,為應對超高齡化挑戰,應打破單一部會主管框架,落實跨部會權責分工,因此「失智症基本法」不宜由衛福部單一部會擔任主管機關,應由行政院依據政策事項指定相關目的事業主管機關辦理,必要時協調相關機關共同推動,以落實跨部會分工。
此外,台灣失智症協會呼籲,未來應確保失智症患者公平近用司法的權利,尤其失智者可能因認知、理解及表意能力受到影響,在司法程序中面臨困難,司法體系須建構完善之程序保障及支持機制,並強化司法領域之專業培訓,確保失智者能平等尋求司法協助、充分表達自身意見,並在司法程序中獲得公平適切的對待。
台灣失智症協會也強調,失智症防治不能只著重確診後的照護,也應重視早期介入,對失智者、輕度認知障礙及高風險群體,應發展認知促進及延緩失智之相關服務與支持措施。
另在失智者面臨自主意願未能充分表達或受到尊重的威脅下,也要有決策支持機制,並促進失智者及早進行醫療、財務、生活重要安排等預先規劃,使其自主意願在疾病不同階段均能獲得尊重,保障其人格與權益。
