"Britain's biggest health fear is no longer cancer, according to recent research. Around 31 per cent of family carers fear dementia, a 4 per cent increase from last year, while concerns around cancer dropped from 30 per cent to 21 per cent in the same amount of time, according to Home Instead. The at-home care provider surveyed 4,000 people, including 1,600 family carers, over the course of a year in a study tracking the country's feelings around ageing and care."
An independent news outlet emphasizes on-the-ground reporting across major issues and appeals for donations to fund journalists while keeping reporting free of paywalls. Research from Home Instead indicates that dementia has become Britain's leading health fear, with about 31% of family carers expressing fear of dementia, a 4% rise from the previous year, while concern about cancer fell from 30% to 21%. Home Instead surveyed 4,000 people, including 1,600 family carers, over a year. Sixty-three percent of respondents called for a government declaration of a dementia health emergency, and nearly 90% of carers requested a dedicated dementia allowance to help fund care.
