Let’s get this bit out of the way first: Jeremy is a really nice bloke…..never thought I’d say that in public about an MP.
In his role as the chair of the all party parliamentary group on dementia, he’s also got such an important role to play in the drive to improve dementia care.
I hope our recent discussions bare fruit and we get the opportunity to contribute our knowledge on the built environment.
The groups previous report on training and dementia care is a plain speaking, clear report which I hope is proving its worth.
A further report focussing on the relationship between the environment and dementia should serve to push more people to re-look at where people with dementia live, and how it affects their well being.
As the issues become more pressing, it’s important to understand that a well designed environment is also ‘good business’ and investment now will save colossal amounts of money in the future.
