It’s Dementia Awareness Week and I was pleased to hear from the leaders of various dementia charities in Parliament yesterday, including the Alzheimer’s Society, Dementia UK, UKDRI and more. We spoke about what practical steps can be taken by Government now to reduce dementia-related hospital occupancy.
The number of people living with dementia is set to increase to over one million by the first year of the next Parliament so it is vital that we have the opportunity to hear directly from experts in the field.
