Labour — Dudley

Speaking in the House of Commons on 3 June 2025

Debate

Dementia Care

Contribution

A constituent has written to me to tell me the story of her mother, who was diagnosed with dementia in 2020. Her father was 86 and the primary carer. They spent over £7,000 on five weeks of respite. Does the hon. Member agree that we need to expand respite centres, day centres and home care to ensure that families are not left by themselves?
