Baroness Blake of Leeds (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 3 June 2026

Debate

Alzheimer’s Disease: Diagnosis and Access to Experimental Drugs

Contribution

The noble Baroness is absolutely right and, if we stay as we are, the projected figures moving forward to 2040 are, frankly, terrifying. I recognise what she is saying. Do not forget that grandchildren spend so much time with their grandparents and often are the first to notice changing behaviour. I think that picks up on the point made by the noble Baroness, Lady Pitkeathley, about an awareness campaign so that when people pick up on the symptoms, they know where to go to get support. Early prevention and intervention have to be the key.
