As part of this they have been talking to people who have dementia and their carers to hear first-hand opinions.

As a contribution to this conversation Bob Doris MSP visited Musical Memories Springburn and spoke with a number of people with dementia and their carers. Mr Doris and attendees had a valuable chat over lunch which gave people an opportunity to tell him how they see their future needs.

A spokesperson said: “Perhaps contrary to the public view of politicians, Bob was a good listener and even stayed on and joined in our Musical Memories singing session and in the Hokey Cokey.”
