PLEASE NOTE: On 21st July 2017, the file 'Dementia: 65+ Estimated Diagnosis Rate, May 2017' was corrected. Full details of corrections are detailed within the file.
Recorded dementia diagnoses, May 2017.
We collect and publish data about people with dementia at each GP practice, so that the NHS (GPs and commissioners) can make informed choices about how to plan their services around their patients needs.
This publication includes a dementia diagnosis rate indicator. As not everyone with dementia has a formal diagnosis, this statistic compares the number of people thought to have dementia with the number of people diagnosed with dementia, aged 65 and over.
Please access the diagnosis rate indicator through the online interactive tool or the documents below.
