As a member of the Alzheimer's Society and a trustee of ARDIS, a local charity that supports people with dementia in Bevendean and the Towner Club, Kemp Town, I agree with Jane Launchbury (Letters, March 4) about the personal care needs of those with dementia.
It is an issue I have taken up several times with the Secretary of State for Health on behalf of individual constituents and the local AS branch. On January 20 in the House of Commons I met national representatives of the Alzheimer's Society
to explore how we can influence
the Department of Health on this important issue.
