Dr. Laura O'Philbin:

Yes. Lots of other countries like ours have invested in registries and they have been really positive. A registry helps clinicians and organisations such as ourselves.

Even when we are talking about geographical disparities and inequalities one can imagine how incredible it would be for us to be able to say that a certain amount of people living with dementia are here and we have a certain amount of family carers there. It would help us to plan services if we could feed into that important information.
