DEMENTIA diagnosis in Bolton has been ranked top in the North West, according to new figures from the Department of Health.
Bolton GPs and NHS Bolton Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) have welcomed the results and say it is down to initiatives introduced in the past year which identified 234 new dementia patients.
And with the number of dementia sufferers in Bolton set to rise from 2,896 to an estimated 37,231 in 2021, early diagnosis is key, according to doctors.
