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 is being extremely generous in giving way. Does he think that NICE has taken sufficient account of the needs of carers in making its evaluation? In other words, although a drug might have a relatively mild therapeutic impact in the early stages of dementia, its impact in giving respite to hard-pressed carers, who are often elderly themselves, is nevertheless considerable. Does he think that NICE has taken sufficient account of that?
