There is a "disgraceful" variation in the number of proportion with dementia being diagnosed across the UK, according to the Alzheimer's Society.
About 800,000 people in the UK have some form of dementia, but most have not been diagnosed.
Estimates by the charity suggest 32% were diagnosed in the East Riding of Yorkshire compared with 76% in Belfast.
The government said the variation was "unacceptable" and caused "unnecessary suffering".
