Written Question
Dementia: Barnsley
Friday 17th October 2014

Asked by: Michael Dugher (Labour - Barnsley East)

Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, how many people in Barnsley have been diagnosed with dementia in each of the last 10 years.

Answered by Norman Lamb

Information is not available for the format requested. The number of people on the dementia register is available. This is a measure of prevalence rather than incidence. The number of people recorded on practice disease registers is taken from the Quality and Outcomes Framework (QOF), published by the Health and Social Care Information Centre. Dementia was included on the QOF register in 2006-07, and the following table shows all available data for the Barnsley Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) and Primary Care Trust (PCT).
