Speaking in the House of Lords on 3 June 2026

Debate

Alzheimer’s Disease: Diagnosis and Access to Experimental Drugs

Contribution

The noble Lord is right: there has been a real increase in awareness of the cost to the economy and the personal cost to those who become carers. I would like to reassure him that the focus on research from this Government is intense, but we must make sure that the drugs that are brought forward have the claimed impact. I know noble Lords will be aware of the current appeal into two drugs that are deemed to be possible. It would be completely inappropriate for me to comment, as the appeal is going forward. Those cases will be heard on 8 July, and we look forward with interest to the outcome.
