Why might consent be an issue for couples living with dementia?

Dementia UK have just produced an information leaflet on sex and intimacy for couples living with dementia. It aims to help people consider and address the changes in their relationship. How do you deal with changes that can include one person becoming more interested in sex than the other, issues concerning consent, or difficulties for the person with dementia in recognising the ways their relationship may have changed? Jane is joined by Sue, who had to face such challenges with her husband, Dr Sarah Simons and Zena Aldridge from Dementia UK.
