THE number of people diagnosed with dementia in Yorkshire has risen but over half of those with the condition do not have a diagnosis and receive little or no support, according to health campaigners.
Nationally, the number of people diagnosed with dementia has soared in the last seven years, new figures show.
The Health and Social Care Information Centre (HSCIC) said the number of patients with a recorded diagnosis of dementia has increased by 62 per cent.
In 2013-14 there were 344,000 people in England who had received a diagnosis – up from 213,000 in 2006-07.
The rise could be attributed to an ageing population, improved recording in diagnosis or a number of other factors, the HSCIC said.
