UK needs Covid-style push on dementia drugs, says ex-head of vaccine taskforce

Kate Bingham says ageing population means tackling dementia must be treated as economic imperative

A Covid-style effort is needed to ensure NHS patients are first in line for a new wave of dementia drugs, according to the former head of the UK's vaccine taskforce.

Kate Bingham is calling for the immediate recruitment of large numbers of patients to ensure that, as with Covid vaccines, the UK is a leading player in testing and launching drugs.
