Number of registered cases of dementia for people aged 65 and over (19572) Metric type
- Help text
- This is the total number of people 'on the books' at GP practices in the area who are aged 65 plus and have a formal diagnosis of dementia.
GP practices provide the count of patients up to the end of the reporting period who have received an assessment for dementia and who have received or declined an initial memory assessment; a referral to a memory clinic; a care plan; a care plan review; a medication review.
Data relating to assessments for dementia, memory assessments, memory clinic referrals and medication reviews are presented as cumulative counts from the start of the reporting year. For example, the count of patients receiving a dementia assessment published for July 2022 will be the sum of assessments carried out in April, May, June and July 2022.
This data should not be compared with that previously published as part of the Recorded Dementia Diagnoses Data publication. Registrations may be lower as the proportion of GP practices that have accepted an invitation to participate in the new Core GP Contract service, via which the dementia data are now collected, is initally less than the proportion that previously participated in the Dementia Data contract service.
The GP Extraction Service (GPES) extracts data for practices that were open at the relevant date, being the last day of the month for which data were extracted. The following practice types are not included in the registered figures: walk-in centres, out-of-hours clinics, prisons, practices that share a clinical system, dormant practices, and practices that have not approved the collection on the Calculating Quality Reporting Service (CQRS).
