Alistair Burt: ...at the National Autistic Society event last night,
where she again demonstrated that interest. May I look at the suggestion
that she makes? It is well recognised that with the growing incidence of
*dementia* and other issues, and with those in care homes being

Baroness Donaghy: ...and the reporting of injuries, and risk-awareness.
I will give two examples of health and safety partnership between
employers and UNISON, my former union. In 2015, over 1,000 employees
took part in a high-quality *dementia* awareness training in conjunction

is planned with the Open University around mental health...
