The only Welsh Professor of Geriatrics, Anthony Bayer, has told the BBC's Week In Week Out programme that the NHS in Wales is being ground to a halt due to dementia patients. He argues that it is a lack of community resources that is the root of the problem.

The situation is made worse by the huge number of sufferers who have yet to receive a formal diagnosis. It is essential, he says, that better care and support packages are put in place so that people with dementia can remain in their homes as long as possible.
