Proceeding contribution from Lord Wills (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 13 June 2006. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Dementia.


Dementia

The hon. Gentleman makes his point well. Does he agree that one of the effects of the relative underfunding of research into Alzheimer’s is that a burden that would otherwise fall on the taxpayer is placed on carers, often spouses, who are put under enormous pressure as a result?
