We welcome new Government plans to make the UK a world leader in delivering cutting-edge clinical research, but more must be done to ensure this vision is translated in dementia research.
Patients across the UK will benefit from faster diagnosis and quicker access to treatments as a result of a ยฃ175 million investment we're making in clinical research ๐ฌ๐ง ๐ฌ
This will also save lives and help to bust the Covid backlogs.
