Greater Manchester is to become the UK's first centre of excellence for music therapy for dementia in a bid to establish if the treatment can ease pressure on the NHS.

More than £1m of funding has been committed to the project to offer more musical support to people living with dementia across all of Greater Manchester.

There are more than 940,000 people in the UK who have dementia with one in 11 people over-65 being most affected.
