Should we be thinking about this and suggesting people have brain health assessments?

Now, we're not there yet, but again, it would make sense because we've got a terrible problem coming down the line of huge numbers of patients with dementia and neurodegeneration.

Can we turn it around slightly?

Can we actually give them hope, but also medical improvements such that they don't die from these conditions?

I can see it down the track that GPs will be involved in this whole process, but at the moment, you know, they're struggling to understand the whole process of dementia, neurodegeneration, what tests are available, how do they go about it, how do their patients get the treatment?

And I think this is something that we have to do with policymakers, with the government, with industry and with key clinicians, researchers, patients and advocates.

And I think we're going to see great progress in the next few years.

Thank you both.

I think it's a critical field moving forward and I hope we have your support and we can try and have these conversations because there's going to be a lot of complicated discussions going forward.
