The coronavirus pandemic is having a devastating impact around the world. In Northern Ireland, people affected by dementia have been hardest hit and our fragmented social care system has been exposed for all to see.
In Northern Ireland, care home residents accounted for 51% of all COVID-19 related deaths, compared to 50% in Scotland, 39% in England and 34% in Wales. NISRA have confirmed that over a third of all deaths in Northern Ireland relating to the virus were people with dementia.
