Inequality leaving 115,000 dementia cases ‘undiagnosed’ in England

More than 115,000 people with dementia are going undiagnosed because of where they live, analysis of official figures shows. The number of adults living with dementia worldwide is on course to nearly triple to 153 million by 2050. In England, the NHS calculates that more than 700,000 people over 65 have dementia. But analysis of NHS primary care dementia figures released last week reveals startling regional variation in diagnosis rates, with a 45 percentage point difference between the top and bottom performers. In all only 459,000 people in England actually have a recorded diagnosis, leaving more than 255,000 patients living with dementia without one.
