David Cameron calls for NHS access to Alzheimer's drugs
10 November 2026
Former Prime Minister David Cameron is calling for NHS access to drugs that slow Alzheimer's disease. The Telegraph reports he has joined dementia specialists and former health ministers pressing for action, including a maximum 18-week wait for a dementia diagnosis. The treatments are available privately but were rejected for routine NHS use on cost grounds. The Government says independent assessments are continuing.
