Is there enough support for you if you're caring for someone who has dementia? Millions are ploughed into cancer research but 12 times less goes into looking for a cure for dementia.
Dementia costs the country £23 billion per year and more than cancer and heart disease combined.
According to the Alzheimer's Research Trust 822,000 suffer with dementia - and it's estimated that figure will pass the one million mark before 2025. Each patient costs the country almost £28,000 each year and yet just £61 per person is spent on research.
