Social workers may stop asking dementia patients who the Prime Minister is in memory tests due to the high turnaround at Number 10.
After three leaders in four months, it was felt the question was unfair as those without the disease may also struggle to name the current leader amid the Tory turmoil.
Warnings were given in a training session for social workers about dementia patients in Derbyshire last week.
A source said: “They were updating things and advised not to use the PM question anymore.”
Not really sure what they can ask. Royals have been changing too

This happened to me when I had a car accident 10 years ago. They checked for a concussion, asked me who the australian pm was, I answered incorrectly because we had three different PMs over the cause of three months and I literally didn't know who it was at the time.
