Long-term neurological conditions carry a significant burden to the individual, their families and carers, the NHS, and society as a whole, for example, Alzheimer's disease and other dementias, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy as well as Parkinson's disease.
The prevalence of diagnosed dementia has been rising in Southwark as well as nationally. Dementia-related emergency hospital admissions are rising with admission rates in Southwark significantly higher than the national and London averages.
