Dementia diagnoses at record high
Record numbers of people are being diagnosed with dementia in England, NHS figures show. Latest data shows a record 487,432 people in England in June had a diagnosis. While dementia diagnosis rates are the highest since the start of the pandemic at 65.0%, the NHS has more to do to meet its ambition to diagnose 66.7% of the total number of people that estimates suggest are living with a form of the disease.
