@C7RKY Also says funds going to charities, eg Alzheimer’s Society, which automatically makes me more cautious in accepting charity claims -
@C7RKY As well as the headline figure being an estimate,its interesting the map shows Englands main cities having less than average dementia -
@C7RKY This is the BMJ article about flaws in data used for estimates mentioned in the BBC article : http://www.bmj.com/content/348/bmj.g2224 … (HT@nchadborn ) -
