Cork is one of 11 counties unable to offer dementia daycare services unless extra funding is provided in the upcoming budget, according to the Alzheimer’s Society of Ireland.

This will affect hundreds of people with dementia and their carers as they will continue to have no access to vital supports and activities provided by these centres.
