Primary Care Dementia Data
NHS England collect and publish data about people with dementia at each GP practice in England, to enable NHS GPs and commissioners to make informed choices about how to plan their dementia services around patients’ needs.
Dementia diagnosis counts are published with ethnicity and age breakdowns, prescriptions of anti-psychotic medications and record of receiving a care plan review.
The publication includes the rate of dementia diagnosis. 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.
