Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, pursuant to the Answet of 31 May 2022 to Question 6744 on dementia diagnosis, what assessment he has made of the impact the £17 million in funding to clinical commissioning groups on dementia diagnosis rates in England.

No formal assessment has been made as the full impact of the funding cannot yet be determined. NHS England and NHS Improvement continue to monitor the monthly diagnosis rate and are analysing trends at regional and sustainability and transformation partnership level to aid targeted recovery efforts. Work to improve dementia diagnosis rates will continue in 2022/23. We will set out plans for dementia in England for the next 10 years later this year, including on diagnosis, risk reduction and prevention and research.
