Information available in the Quality and Outcomes Framework (QOF), published by the Health and Social Care Information, on the number of people with dementia has been collected since 2006/07. Information is collected at National Health Service organisation level, and not constituency level.

Data on the number of people with dementia in the East Sussex Downs and Weald Primary Care Trust, the clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) that replaced it and England are shown in the tables below.
