<p>The dementia diagnosis rate is not calculated for patients aged under 65 years
old. This is because the numbers of patients known to have dementia in the sample
population age groups comprising the zero to 64-year-old age range, are not large
enough for reliable estimates to be made. Nonetheless, NHS England is committed to
delivering high quality care and support for every person with dementia at every age,
and central to this is the provision of personalised care.</p><p>As part of the spending
review settlement in 2021/22, £17 million was allocated to the National Health Service
to address dementia waiting lists and to increase the number of diagnoses, which had
been adversely impacted by the pandemic. NHS England will share reporting on the impact
of this funding and examples of good practice with dementia clinical networks in March
2024.</p>
