“Total spend in the UK – from charities and the government – on dementia in 2013 was £73.8m. By contrast, for cancer, that figure was £503m.” This underfunding means reduced manpower, say campaigners. There are some 3,600 dementia researchers working in the UK –about 19,000 fewer than those working on cancer, even though dementia costs the UK economy more. So, prospects of finding treatments to slow or halt the loss of faculties associated with dementia will be limited, say researchers.
