Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

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

Information is not available in 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 the available data for NHS Mansfield and Ashfield Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG), NHS Nottingham North and East CCG, NHS Nottingham West CCG and for the Nottinghamshire County Teaching Primary Care Trust (PCT) (formerly known as the Nottinghamshire County PCT).

Number of patients on the (QOF) dementia register for NHS Mansfield and Ashfield CCG, NHS Nottingham and East CCG, NHS Nottingham West CCG and Nottinghamshire County Teaching PCT
