Alzheimer's

Purpose of the Group

According to Alzheimer Scotland, there are currently more than 60,000 people living in Scotland who have been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. This figure is projected to increase to between 102,000 and 114,000 by 2031. In order that Scotland can prepare for this increase, and in light of our ageing population, the Cross Party Group wants to act now to ensure that better support, services and treatment are in place to assist this vulnerable group and their carers to manage the condition.
