Sioned Williams, it's true that there is huge pressure on people like your mother as she cared for your father. I remember reading a diagnosis letter for my father in 2013, and I had no idea what the future held. And that's entirely true; you are entirely right that nothing prepares you for life with dementia. We need early support, and we need to increase capacity, as you said, Sioned, in order to create that.
