That is why in February 2015, the Prime Minister launched his Challenge on Dementia 2020 as a successor to the Prime Minister’s Challenge on Dementia 2012-15. Under the Prime Minister’s Challenge on Dementia 2020, we set an ambition for:</p><br /><p>- improved public awareness and understanding of the factors, which increase the risk of developing dementia and how people can reduce their risk by living more healthily. This should include a new healthy ageing campaign and access to tools such as a personalised risk assessment calculator as part of the NHS Health Check;</p><p>- increased identification of effective ways in which people can reduce their personal risk of developing dementia, including cardio-vascular and cognitive strategies, and ways of encouraging these approaches to improve public health and wellbeing; and</p><p>- overall spending for dementia research from all sectors to double by 2025.</p><br /><p>Research funding for dementia research doubled under the last Government and will be maintained to total over £300 million over the period of the current government.</p> answering member constituency Battersea answering member printed Jane Ellison question first answered 15/01/2016 13:24:15 answering member 3918 label Biography information for Jane Ellison
