"It is estimated that 7.3 million Europeans suffer from different forms of dementia, the majority of cases being Alzheimer’s disease. This is a large-scale health problem, as we should bear in mind that forms of dementia affect not only those who suffer from them, but also those who care for them. If there were a European strategy in this area, it would allow a more integrated approach and a more effective response to treatment and awareness of mental illnesses, making the European public more sensitive to brain pathologies associated with ageing.
Firstly, I believe that it is important to improve coordination between the Member States by developing national strategies and plans targeted at Alzheimer’s disease. Secondly, I believe it is important to ensure greater support and provision of services for patients and their families. Lastly, I believe it is important to boost research into, and treatment and prevention of, this type of illness. I would like to congratulate Mrs Matias on the report that she has tabled, and I support the recommendations for the Commission and the Council, as well as those for the Member States."@en1
