Babs in plea to Boris
DAME Barbara Windsor has called on Prime Minister Boris Johnson to “sort out” dementia care as she prepares to make a rare public appearance, delivering an open letter to 10 Downing Street.
The EastEnders legend was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s in 2014.
The 82-year-old said: “My heart goes out to the many, many people who are really struggling to get the care they so desperately need.
“Please join us, and sign our letter, let’s do everything we can to sort this out.”
The actress and her husband Scott Mitchell have called on people to sign the open letter to urge Mr Johnson to take action.
Dame Barbara plans to hand in the Alzheimer’s Society letter with her husband on September 2.
The couple are among more than 50,000 people who have already signed the letter.
Scott, who has been meeting those affected by dementia, called on politicians to fix the “social care crisis”, calling it “a disgrace”.
