Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps his Department is taking to ensure that accurate data is collected on the number of Black, Asian, and minority ethnic people who are diagnosed with dementia.

The monthly Recorded Dementia Diagnoses data includes counts of patients with a diagnosis of dementia on their general practitioner patient record by sub-integrated care board location, which also records ethnicity. Monthly data releases are available at the following link: https://digital.nhs.uk/data-and-information/publications/statistical/recorded-dementia-diagnoses
