Dementia Profile

October 2021

Updated factsheets:

The following statistical factsheets at CCG and STP levels have been updated on the profile to include data for August 2021. The data in the factsheets reflect the new April 2021 CCG geographical boundaries but the dementia profile still reflects the April 2020 CCG boundaries. Therefore factsheets need to be selected using the 2020 geography name.
