Speaking in the House of Lords on 3 June 2026

Debate

Alzheimer’s Disease: Diagnosis and Access to Experimental Drugs

Contribution

My Lords, women account for nearly two-thirds of people who suffer from Alzheimer’s disease and two-thirds of unpaid carers for those who suffer from Alzheimer’s disease, yet women tend to receive a delayed diagnosis or misdiagnosis. There are complex relationships between gender, hormones, ageing and the progression of disease. I request that my noble friend ensures that gender-specific research, diagnosis and care are embedded in the new women’s health strategy refresh, as well as the dementia framework.
