BRADFORD East MP David Ward has backed the Alzheimer’s Society’s campaign for the General Election.

Mr Ward (pictured with TV host Angela Rippon) joined more than 200 other MPs and representatives from Alzheimer’s Society in Westminster to meet people with dementia and commit to support those affected by the condition.

The Liberal Democrat said: “There are around 900 people living with the condition in Bradford East and over 5,400 people across Bradford.

“It is an issue we absolutely cannot afford to ignore.”
