I recently attended the World Alzheimer's Month Event in Parliament to find out about the latest breakthroughs in dementia research.
With the projection of dementia cases to rise to 1.6 million nationwide by 2040, it is vital that we continue to act now, making sure we have a better chance at tackling the disease in the future.
It was really intriguing to learn more about Donanemab, the brand new drug that has been shown to slow the clinical decline of Alzheimer's by up to 35%.
Here in North East Hampshire, we’re backing our local healthcare, with the plans to build our two new hospitals well underway. It’s also worth noting that we now spend £787 million more per week in real terms, than we did in 2015, making sure that you get the care you need, when you need it.
