A police chief is calling for a national database holding the details of people suffering from dementia.

Sir Peter Fahy, Chief Constable of Greater Manchester, said it would help emergency services assist people who are either confused or agitated.

"It will enable the caring agencies to give a much better service when we receive a call and decide how to treat it," Sir Peter said.

The Alzheimer's Society said it could cause more problems than it solved.
