Alzheimers NZ says global research has highlighted the way New Zealanders with dementia are being failed.
The latest World Alzheimer Report says the lack of post-diagnostic support for people with dementia is a global problem.
As many as 85 per cent of the 55 million sufferers are missing out on care.
Alzheimers NZ chief Catherine Hall says it paints a grim picture of the situation here.
She says the community-based dementia sector has been under-funded for decades, and around 30,000 people are missing out of the help and support they need.
