Information on what proportion of hospital beds are currently occupied by people with dementia is not available.

NHS Digital has provided the following table showing the mean and median length of stay for finished discharge episodes (FDEs) with any diagnosis of dementia from hospitals within Yorkshire and Humber Government Office Region for the year 2019/20. This data is a count of discharge episodes where the patient left hospital after a period of treatment. It is not a count of patients as an individual may have had more than one episode of care which ended in the period covered.
