Dementia diagnosis counts are published with ethnicity and age breakdowns, prescriptions of anti-psychotic medications and record of receiving a care plan review. Diagnosis rates are calculated by comparing recorded diagnoses to estimated dementia prevalence.
NHS England ran a consultation with proposed changes to the publication between Thursday 19th March and Wednesday 15th April 2026. This survey is now closed.
