Dementia patients aren't getting enough help
GPs say that families looking after someone suffering from dementia aren't getting enough help from the NHS. A survey from the Alzheimer's Society suggests that 77 per cent of GPs believe their patients have to rely on friends, neighbours and unpaid carers for support.
In its latest annual dementia report out today, the Alzheimer's Society is pressing for a national action plan to combat dementia over the next five years.
