700,000 people in the UK have been diagnosed with dementia; two thirds live at home, many relying on a close family member for their care.

Jane talks to Barbara Pointon, whose husband Malcolm died after suffering from Alzheimer鈥檚 disease, Dawn Warwick of the Association of Directors of Adult Social Services and Professor Sube Banerjee, who is leading the development of the government鈥檚 new strategy on dementia.
