Proceeding contribution from Tim Farron (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 27 January 2010. It occurred during Opposition day on Dementia Services.


Dementia Services

My hon. Friend has alluded to a concern that many of us share: although we welcome the funds that have been delivered through the national dementia strategy, the £1.5 million provided to the primary care trust in Cumbria does not appear to have resulted in any additional services for people suffering from dementia or for their carers. Organisations such as the Alzheimer's Society want clear, tangible, additional services to be provided for those people rather than the money being used simply to plug existing budget gaps.
