| Annotation | This commentary focuses on the recent publication, Dementia UK, a study published by the Alzheimer's Society, which for the first time estimates the true cost of dementia in the coming years. The author opines that, despite much progress being made in recent years to provide a responsive service to older people to meet their needs for support to retain independence, councils will still "savagely cut" services such as meals on wheels, often as a first step to balance local budgets. These cuts, it is felt, do reflect the value that society places on older people. (KJ/RH). |
