Mae fy etholwyr wedi cysylltu â mi’n rheolaidd am y pwnc hwn, ac rwy’n falch o fod wedi cael y cyfle i fynd i sesiwn wybodaeth yn y senedd a gynhaliwyd gan yr Alzheimer’s Research UK.
This is a subject that my constituents regularly contacted me about and I am grateful to have had the opportunity to attend a parliamentary information session hosted by Alzheimer's Research UK.
I have lobbied for better research, help, and support for all those living with dementia, or caring for someone who does. I have engaged with UK Government ministers, urging them to ensure dementia diagnosis are prioritised during hospital admissions. I also held a “Carers Together” event at The Dinorben Arms Hote with the charity tide - together in dementia everyday which bought together carers from across Anglesey to meet others in similar situations and provided signposting to support they may not have previously been aware of.
This Dementia Awareness Week they are encouraging people to take action if you are worried about memory loss, and they highlight

Yn ystod Wythnos Gweithredu Dementia maen nhw’n annog pobl i weithredu os ydyn nhw’n credu bod y cof yn pallu, gan bwysleisio:
