has released new data on the rates of dementia diagnosis in the UK. It
shows wide variation between areas with, for example, 31.6% of people
with dementia being diagnosed in the East Riding of Yorkshire and 75.4%
in Islington.
The proportion of people with dementia who have a formal diagnosis is
now 46%, compared with 43% in 2011. Alzheimer’s Society estimates that
there are 428,000 people in the UK who are living with dementia but
haven’t been diagnosed.
