THE number of people with dementia in Dorset will increase by 54% in the next 10 years, according to the Alzheimer s Society, which is demanding reform to social care to provide better support. NHS Digital figures show that 3,606 older people in Dorset have a dementia diagnosis, however the number of those living with the condition is estimated to be around 7,132. Research by the Alzheimer s Society predicts that the number will swell to 10,980 in 2030. Marking Dementia Action Week, the charity warns that a lack of drugs to cure or slow down the condition means families rely on social care that is often inadequate.
