Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether he has had recent discussions with the director of UK Dementia Research Institute at Cardiff University on treatments for Dementia.

There have been no recent discussions with the Director of the UK Dementia Research Institute at Cardiff University on treatments for Dementia.

On 17 May we published a call for evidence giving the public, charities, patient groups and other stakeholders an opportunity to inform the Major Conditions Strategy, helping to build consensus on what actions need to be prioritised. We would welcome contributions from the UK Dementia Research Institute and others on the subject of treatments for dementia. The call for evidence can be found at the following link:
