Most of the cost of dementia - £12.4 billion per year - is met by unpaid carers. Social care costs are £9 billion, health care £1.2 billion and productivity losses £29 million 820,000 in the UK - The total number of people with Dementia in the UK is forecast to increase to 940,110 by 2021 and 1,735,087 by 2051, an increase of 38% over the next 15 years and 154% over the next 45 years.
