I want Britain to be the country that makes the breakthrough and delivers the cure for dementia the world has been waiting for.
I’m not the last Prime Minister of the UK. I’ll be the first to rewire it to make it work properly in Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland, and England.
This investment goes hand in hand with our plans for a National Care Service, helping ensure that people living with dementia get the care and support they need.
If the UK wants to build global companies, we need to be globally competitive. To do that, we cannot have Britain's start-ups simply sell up.
