"Madam President, in my constituency of Northern Ireland, we currently have 16 000 people suffering from dementia. They, their families and their carers will welcome a proactive approach to tackling this disease, which can be so devastating to both sufferers and families.
It is in areas like this that I believe it is good to see cooperation across European states. I believe that a coordinated approach to tackling disease can bring forward new evidence, new medical breakthroughs and, in time, hopefully improve treatment and cure.
In the United Kingdom, we currently have just over 400 000 people suffering from Alzheimer’s. This United Kingdom figure is likely to be something in the region of 750 000 people by 2025. It is therefore imperative that something is done to improve our diagnosis, treatment and prevention and social research into the welfare of patients and their families, particularly families who act as carers. A coordinated approach and a sharing of research are vital, as long as that research respects the sanctity of human life in all its forms."@en1
