How close are we to drugs that could cure Alzheimer's? David Cameron, who served as UK prime minister from 2010 to 2016, believes the pace of progress will soon make it a problem of the past.

In a new Bloomberg podcast, Cameron speaks to scientists at the cutting edge of research, including those pursuing a statin-style preventive pill. For the former prime minister, this mission is personal, as he explains in a conversation with Mishal Husain. His mother, Mary, died last year of a disease he says robbed the family of a “formidable” woman.

Cameron also talks about his own record on healthcare, the legacy of Brexit, his brief return to government in 2023 as foreign secretary and the future of the UK’s Conservative Party.
