.@thetimes makes a strong case. This is why I’m campaigning for a dedicated Dementia Drugs Fund - similar to the Cancer Drugs Fund we set up in 2010 to support patients who were being denied lifesaving treatments. This needs to be done. #EndingAlzheimers thetimes.com/comment/the-ti…

As PM, I was proud to launch the National Dementia Challenge, doubling the amount of investment into research for dementia treatments and kick-starting the fightback against this terrible disease that destroys so many lives.

More than a decade on, huge progress has been made, meaning we now have treatments available that can slow the progression of Alzheimer’s disease.

However, we urgently need to find ways to unlock access to these dementia drugs, and others on the way, so people can benefit from the amazing progress that is being made and from new innovations on the horizon. #ForACure #EndingAlzheimers

As PM, I helped establish the Cancer Drugs Fund to support patients who were being denied lifesaving treatments. With dementia, we have reached a similar moment. After decades of waiting, we finally have treatments that can slow the progression of Alzheimer’s disease. The challenge now is to make sure patients have the opportunity to benefit from that progress.

There is now a strong case for a dedicated Dementia Drugs Fund to help make that happen. We found a way forward for cancer patients; I urge the government to show the same determination for people affected by dementia. #ForACure #EndingAlzheimers
