My PhD student Dominic Trepel is quoted in all the major newspapers today following publication of his report in the pre-Budget submission of the Alzheimer Society of Ireland today. Have a read of the coverage, and of the report itself.
Dominic is quoted as saying: “The economic cost of dementia ranks higher than stroke, heart disease and cancer combined. However, health care allocations for dementia continue to be substantially lower than each of these individual disease groups.”
The report has garnered a fair amount of coverage:
