Hello - my mother, sister and I all think Mum may have dementia. She went to the GP herself to share her concerns, and he has, I think, referred her to a memory clinic - but I hear the waiting time is very long. She lives in Norfolk, where there seems to be very limited NHS provision.
Should she go to a private clinic for a diagnosis? If she did, would she be able to go back to the GP with it or be referred through to the NHS? Or should she just go back to the GP and ask to go private?
She is facing the possibility bravely, but the waiting isn't helping. Would be very grateful for any advice. Thanks.
