Government ‘must triple’ dementia research funding or ‘pay price’, scientists warn
Elderly woman with carer31 of the UK’s leading dementia scientists have signed an open letter calling on the government to use today’s 21st July ministerial summit on dementia research to end “years of underfunding”. They are calling for a threefold increase in investment into efforts to find new treatments, preventions and cures for Alzheimer’s and other dementias.
The Alzheimer’s Research Trust coordinated campaign has the backing of two other charities: the Alzheimer’s Society and Parkinson’s Disease Society. The letter warns that the UK’s “key weakness is lack of funding, not lack of talent”.
