Thoughts from a Scouse Wench - July 2007

Dementia ... the real costs.

July 2nd 2007 15:07
It saddens me to see that the government of my country is still quibbling over the costs of drugs such as Aracept which is prescribed for people suffering from various forms of dementia. At £2.50 a day, for this particular drug, it seems such a small price to pay for a drug that can make the long road that suffers and their families face that much easier.

I know many would say well there are other illnesses out there that deserve treating as well but it is my expereince caring for my late father that makes me so cross that the discussion is even being had regarding these drugs

I recently had to arrange a funeral for the first time ....... not something that you would go out of your way to be involved in I know. However when its your father you cannot really avoid it i suppose.

I am the youngest of 4 but was the one who looked after him and had to make some of the most difficult descisions about him
