Former Labour leader Lord Kinnock opens up about his wife Glenys' battle with Alzheimer's, telling of his sadness that she is 'ceasing gradually to be the person she used to be.'
A 10-year plan to tackle dementia will have a big focus on prevention, the Health Secretary has said, as he promised a “seismic shift” in how the condition is tackled.
Sajid Javid told the Alzheimer’s Society annual conference in central London his plan will look at why people fall ill, with figures suggesting as much as 40% of dementia is potentially preventable.
“We know now that what’s good for the heart is also good for the brain,” he said.
“Action on high blood pressure, physical inactivity, alcohol, obesity and healthy eating all have a part to play.
“So we’re going to be very ambitious on prevention.”
However, charities said the Government had not yet delivered its previous promise to double dementia funding.
