Update: 2025-12-06
Description
Dementia: A Growing Crisis in the UK - A Major Campaign LaunchedDementia affects nearly one million people in the UK, with projections showing a potential rise to one point four million by 2040. Despite being the countrys biggest killer, care for dementia patients remains inadequate, with insufficient drugs on the NHS and inconsistent nursing home care. Government funding for research has also been insufficient. One-third of those living with dementia are undiagnosed, and diagnosis rates are struggling to recover post-pandemic. In response, a major campaign has been launched to increase diagnosis, boost research, and improve overall care, aiming to prompt the government into taking more decisive action against dementia.
