I've been saying it for ages. Now World Alz Rep says 27m people have undiagnosed dementia. Same in UK too. 750,000? Pah. Try doubling it.

The AMTS – the Abbreviated Mental Test Score, first introduced in 1972, is a quick 10-point screening test asks people about age, time of day, the date, the date of birth, the name of the monarch and other questions.
