DEMENTIA is to blame
for one in eight deaths,
shocking figures
revealed yesterday.
Nearly 70,000 lives were lost
to the illness last year – 13 per
cent up on the 61,000 of 2015.
Experts warn the figure will keep
increasing because people are living
longer and conditions such as
Alzheimer’s are still untreatable.
The death rate highlights the
urgency of a Daily Mail campaign
to end a scandal in which countless
sufferers have to sell their homes to
pay for care. More than 850,
Britons have dementia, a progressive
disease that kills by damaging the
brains of victims.
The Office for National Statistics
said the illness was responsible for
12.8 per cent of the 541,589 regis-
tered deaths in England and Wales
