The Alzheimer's Society of Ireland recently (October 8th 2010) worked with Health Economist Dominic Trepel of University of Limerick on a new report which outlines the economic case for urgent investment in dementia services in Ireland.
 
The new report is entitled “An economic perspective of dementia care in Ireland” and points out the critical need for more community services. The report also highlights that Ireland spends only half the OECD average on dementia services despite the fact that it is predicted our country faces the largest growth of dementia of all European countries in the coming decades.
