Daily Mail launches campaign to end restrictions on Alzheimer's drugs
Published 13 November 2007
The Daily Mail has today joined the campaign to end the restrictions on drugs to treat Alzheimer's disease.
The national newspaper's "For The Sake of £2.50 campaign" backs the Alzheimer's Society in our legal challenge to the NICE decision in the High Court.
Actor Richard Briers starred as a husband caring for his wife with Alzheimer's in the 2005 BBC film Dad.
He said at the time he was greatly affected by the research he did for the role.
He said:
'Thank you to the Daily Mail for backing the campaign to overturn this disastrous decision by NICE.
£2.50 is such a small price to pay for treatment which can make a world of difference to the thousands with Alzheimer's and the millions more who care for a loved one with this devastating disease.'
