Days after his wife died after suffering with dementia, a retired civil servant from Jesmond is determined to "shout from the rooftops" to improve the social care system and provision for those with the debilitating illness.
Bill Wilson, 67, has been a carer for his wife Dr Jo Wilson for several years. After a years-long fight to get her a bed in a residential care home, she finally moved in just days ago, only to die on Saturday. Bill said he was still "numb" but also "deeply angry" at the Government - and vowed to make lasting change his wife's legacy.
Jo, 69, had been an international business consultant, a nurse and a midwife, and completed numerous degrees including a PhD before falling ill. The couple had been together for 50 years - and Bill said her death was a "huge shock to the system".
