Dedicate a message to Government to make them address the reality of lockdown for people affected by dementia.

I have seen my mother only 3 times since lock down. The first two times we were shivering in the cold very far from each other and the final time indoors where she was sitting in reception and I was sitting even further away near the exit. I really don't understand why we can't be near each other with proper PPE or at least a screen. Even in prison they are allowed visitors. She has little control over her life at it is, the very least she should be allowed to make a choice .
