Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, with reference to Alzheimer’s Research UK’s position statement Getting People Involved in Dementia Research published in 2017, if he will include proposals to increase awareness of ways to get involved in dementia research in the dementia strategy.
The National Institute for Health and Care Research has funded and delivered the Join Dementia Research platform with Alzheimer’s Society, Alzheimer Scotland and Alzheimer’s Research UK. This allows individuals to register an interest in dementia research and be matched to trials to improve participation and diversity in such research.
We are currently reviewing plans for dementia in England and further information will be made available in due course
