Gordon Lishman‚ Director General‚ Age Concern England said:

“It is crucial that these drugs continue to be made available to people with dementia. They can cost as little as £2.50 a day per person and make day-to-day life more manageable for thousands. They can help alleviate memory loss‚ which can be enormously distressing for sufferers and their loved ones and make daily living tasks easier.”
