"Love and familiarity is essential to someone with dementia".

Sonia Watson

Available for over a year

Families are going to Parliament to demand a new legal right to maintain contact in health and care. The call coincides with the tabling of a Ten-Minute Rule Bill, the ‘Care Supporters Bill’. BBC Essex's Sonia Watson spoke to Julia Jones who co-founded John's Campaign, and Nicci Gerrard who's father deteriorated after the family was not allowed to visit him when he went into hospital in 2013.
