Funding boost for region's dementia research

It's a condition that blights the lives of millions across the UK. Dementia is a disease which leaves sufferers often unable to recognise loved ones, or even where they are.

Today a leading dementia charity announced it's doubling its funding for research, including ground-breaking work at universities in the south-east.

Andy Dickenson reports and speaks to Dr Karen Marshall of the University of Sussex, Joy Reilly and Sam Hart - both of whose mothers suffer from the disease.
