Parliament held a debate on dementia care on 3rd June, led by Caroline Voaden MP. You can watch it here but it is 8 hours long. The transcript (a better option) can be read here.
No MPs from Liverpool City Region took part; Oldham MP Debbie Abrahams (Chair of the Dementia APPG) contributed and towards the very end the Minister of State for Care Stephen Kinnock spoke. The debate covered a lot of familiar topics and it was interesting to see ICBs mentioned several times, in particular their share of NHS cuts.
