Catherine Hall: Alzheimers NZ chief research has highlighted the way Kiwis with dementia are being failed

Alzheimers NZ says global research has highlighted the way New Zealanders with dementia are being failed. The latest World Alzheimer Report says the lack of post-diagnostic support for people with dementia is a global problem. As many as 85 per cent of the 55 million sufferers are missing out on care. Alzheimers NZ chief Catherine Hall says it paints a grim picture of the situation here. She says the community-based dementia sector has been under-funded for decades, and around 30,000 people are missing out of the help and support they need.
