  1. In the last couple of years, before she died at 90, my mother was suffering with dementia. It was nowhere near as bad as what's described here, but it was very trying. I don't know if it's generally the case, but it was also incredibly distressing, at times for my mother. On one occasion she was crying and looking for her father, who had died about 60 years earlier. Funding care for this should not be a post code lottery, but neither should what each council needs to spend be down to chance. The only way to tackle this, and so many other inequities, due to location, is by direct central funding.
