Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 September 2020
Social and demographic changes and advances in acute medicine are leading to an ageing population. Many, perhaps most, people will now live for significant periods with long-term health conditions and illness. There are over one million people with dementia currently living in the UK, at an estimated annual cost of £26.3 billion to society with the average cost being £32,250 per person per year. The estimated breakdown of this cost is £4.3 billion spent on healthcare, £10.3 billion on social care (publicly and privately funded) and £11.6 billion contributed by the work of unpaid carers of people with dementia.
