Fuelling the Moonshot: New APPG report into dementia research Throughout the summer, the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Dementia undertook an inquiry into dementia research in the UK and the Government’s commitment to implement a ‘Dementia Moonshot’. During this inquiry, the APPG took written evidence from academics, research institutions, and people affected by dementia. The Group also held four oral evidence sessions, where they heard from world-leading researchers, charities, participants in research, and people with lived experience of dementia. Following the inquiry, the APPG has now published a report on their findings. The report, Fuelling the Moonshot, investigates the current state of dementia research in the UK, highlights areas where the UK is leading the field in dementia research, makes the case for the Government to bring forward the 'Dementia Moonshot' funding, and makes recommendations on how this extra funding could best be utilised.
