Every GP will be trained to spot the first signs of dementia under plans to provide sufferers with a better quality of life, the Government said today.
“Memory clinics” will also be set up in every town as places where patients can get treatment and support to live their lives as normally as possible, Care Services Minister Phil Hope said.
A total of 700,000 people in the UK have a form of dementia.
