Alzheimer’s Disease: Diagnosis and Access to Experimental Drugs

Contribution

My Lords, NHS England’s target is for at least 67% of people with dementia to receive a formal diagnosis, yet we know that many areas struggle to meet that benchmark. Given what noble Lords have said about early intervention, but also that new Alzheimer’s treatments are most effective in the earlier stages of the disease, what is the department doing to target areas that do not meet the benchmark to ensure that we are quickly diagnosing as many patients with these conditions as possible, so that they can either move to adapted care or be given more innovative drugs when they are available?
