Bradford has one of the highest diagnosis rates for dementia in Yorkshire and the Humber, according to new analysis of NHS data.

Mobile Annexe Ltd looked at the NHS's Primary Care Dementia Data reports, which compare the number of people thought to have dementia with the number of people diagnosed with dementia, aged 65 and over.

In Bradford, there were 4,489 diagnosed cases compared to 6,162.6 total estimated cases.

Rotherham, Barnsley, and Bradford had the highest diagnosis rates of all locations in Yorkshire and the Humber, at 88.2%, 73.5%, and 72.8% respectively.

Mobile Annexe Ltd found that over 46,000 patients with dementia aged 65 or over in Yorkshire and the Humber are known, while the total estimated number of cases is more than 69,000.

This would mean that approximately one third of those living with dementia in the region are undiagnosed.

Gary Clayden-Smith of Mobile Annexe Ltd said: "The fact that the estimates show actual figures are much higher than recorded really highlights the hidden nature of dementia, meaning many people are struggling without a diagnosis and the recognition and support they need."
