Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, how many emergency hospital admissions there were of people with a (a) primary and (b) secondary diagnosis of dementia in each of the last 10 years.
The table below shows a count of emergency finished admission episodes (FAEs) with a primary and secondary diagnosis of dementia from 2006-07 to 2015-16.
Note, this is not a count of people as the same person may have had more than one admission episode within the same time period.
