The wife of a man who has Alzheimer's has told how she believes a new wonder drug set to be delayed for use in Scotland would have "meant the world" to a family like hers.
It comes as we reveal Brexit will delay the ground-breaking drug getting to Scots patients, a leading expert has warned. The drug, Lecanemab, was hailed as a new wonder pill which can slow down Alzheimer’s, after studies were released in the US last week.
But because Scotland is no longer in the EU, doctors have warned Alzheimer’s sufferers and their families it could take several years to be approved for use in the UK. Existing trade deals between the EU and US could see the drug fast-tracked for use in the rest of Europe.
