In full: Former PM David Cameron on tackling dementia

The government should consider providing people with insurance in case they need to pay large fees for social care, David Cameron has said.

The former prime minister was speaking to Sky News in his role as President of Alzheimer’s Research UK.

The worst PM we’ve had…until the ones that followed him. The UK has been on a downward spiral ever since his premiership. What has happened to the NHS since 2010 is criminal negligence and he began that with his reforms.

The tories often help people with dementia In outstanding ways…they had 2 of them as prime ministers this year alone, and one as chancellor

[Paul_Davies]

Dementia is one of the things that scares me in life if I ever get diagnosed with it I'll opt out of life before I let it destroy my mind

[equalitypeace]

Remind me didnt he cut the nhs budget under his austerity plan and now he wants to talk about dementia care

[margaretwilson]

Cameron was a decent PM. Yeah, him calling the Brexit referendum was an error in judgement. But he seems like a really good leader here. Competent and level headed, for sure.

It’s hard to believe Uk had four prime ministers after this guy.

[olivergrumitt]

The rise in dementia cases must surely be linked to the fact that people live much longer than they used to. When the average maximum age one could expect to live was only 50 to 60, as it was at the beginning of the 20th Century, then dementia cases were much less common, although dementia of course was not known about or diagnosed then.

Since him as PM. UK has gone bad really bad.

[happymammaries]

Wonder if he's trying to forget how he instigated Brexit.

[marklapena]

He probably wishes we all had dementia so we can forget about his premiership and what he had done to this country.

[RickRando]

If he's medicated and has the support of his family I'm sure he'll be fine.

[Then.]

😭 sobbing his eyes outs for sympathy was pathetic after Dr Budget cut everything from NHS to defence which left us unsafe

[opkank]

tHIS IS GOOD ADVICE A LOT OF TORY VOTERS NEEDED TO HEAR THIS

[NA-dgjx]

Did he forget we’re hid his money offshore?

[thomassmithUTUBE]

I didn’t agree with everything David Cameron did while he was PM but I agree with him on this !

[for]

Wow. He's young to get that. What a shame.

[JmeHayGreenz]
