Health Minister: 'Early diagnosis can help dementia sufferers'

The potential prospect of getting dementia is something that causes people to be very anxious and fearful so it’s incredibly important we do everything we can to raise awareness of the condition and also raise awareness of the absolute importance of early diagnoses.

So one of the key messages today, is if you have concerns about a loved one, have that difficult conversation with them. Talk to them about it, get to your GP as quickly as you can because we know from the evidence that early diagnosis can make a real difference to health and well-being.
