None of these programmes never do or can cover the 'whole' picture. That is not the aim, people would turn off. We face a complex situation with many varients.
This publicity gives hope because the subject is being aired, some people will learn, more will understand.
I remember pre NHS when cancer was never mentioned or understood, then it was called the big C as if using the name would bring it closer to home.
I feel we are in a similar place now, we need more openness to get the research and funding.
Because social care has not been seen as a priority there is no policy just a vague promise of a green paper once again.
There now is a call for a Dementia Fund.
My heart really went out to the brave young people, yes it was sad and upsetting but people need to start feeling upset to put pressure on for what is needed to help us care. It was also full of smiles and kindness.
We do not have a Choir within reach but ir has encouraged me to play more music, and watch old musicals.
