Information is not available in the format requested. The number of people on the dementia register is available. This is a measure of prevalence rather than incidence. The number of people recorded on practice disease registers is taken from the Quality and Outcomes Framework (QOF), published by the Health and Social Care Information Centre. The following table shows all available data for East Lancashire Primary Care Trust (PCT) and East Lancashire Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) as these cover the Pendle constituency.

1 Practices, Practice List sizes and Number of patients on Dementia Register are based only on those GP practices that participated in QOF.

2 Information for 2013-14 is based only on those practices that participated in QOF in both 2012-13 and 2013-14. Therefore, 2013-14 figures are provisional and are subject to change once the full QOF is published 28 October 2014.
