Lord Evans of Rainow (Con)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 1 May 2025

Debate

Dementia and Alzheimer’s Treatments

Contribution

I thank the Minister for that helpful response. Finding a cure for dementia is the challenge of our time. Some drugs now available delay the onset of dementia. They are available privately, but not on the NHS. The NHS says that the assumed costs of administering the drugs are too high. Can the Minister look into this matter to see whether she can clear any barriers to making the new drug lecanemab accessible to everybody on the NHS?
