<p>The national commitment for the dementia diagnosis rate is two-thirds of the estimated
population living with dementia to have a formal diagnosis. At the end of April 2018,
116 of 195 clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) had met the two-thirds national standard.</p><p>
</p><p>A national diagnosis rate of at least 66.7% was initially achieved at the end
2015, and this has been maintained ever since. The current national dementia diagnosis
rate is 67.3% (April 2018).</p><p> </p><p>NHS England recognises that CCGs have varying
levels of need for support based on their performance against the indicators, and
has developed a support offer to assist areas in improving dementia services including
diagnosis rates.</p>
