Dementia: North West
(asked on 16th November 2016) - View Source
Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, how many people there are diagnosed with dementia in (a) Westmorland and Lonsdale constituency, (b) Cumbria and (c) the North West.
Information is not available in the format requested. Data are available from the ‘Patients in England with a record of dementia diagnosis on their clinical record, October 2016’ dataset. The data are a snapshot as at 31 October 2016. Data are collected at general practitioner (GP) practice level, and therefore mapping to relatively small geographies (such as parliamentary constituencies) would not yield representative figures. The data can be aggregated to clinical commissioning group (CCG) level, and to a group of CCGs considered to comprise the North West. This can be found in the table below.

Geography | Patients with recorded dementia diagnosis | Patient list size |

North West¹ | 62,138 | 7,516,621 |

This interactive on-line resource aims to provide members of the public information on how their area performs against a range of areas along the Dementia “Well Pathway”. This greater transparency will enable people to know how health and care services are performing and highlight variation and areas where improvements are needed.
