More Than a Million Britons Will Suffer from Dementia by 2028: Experts
Wilkinson said he was ashamed by the appalling treatment and services provided to many patients.
"If someone has cancer you don't wait until it has spread until you start treating it. This is a lethal degenerative condition and we should be tackling it from the start," the Telegraph quoted Wilkinson, as saying.
He also said the care for those at the later stages of the disease were inadequate.
"We are warehousing these people in nursing homes, that's what we are doing with them. It's appalling."
Neil Hunt, the chief executive of the society, said the forecasts call for urgent need to increase services and research.
"We know that delaying the onset of dementia by five years would halve the number of deaths from Alzheimer's. If we are to defeat dementia it is vital we invest in more research," he said.
