The estimated percentage of people aged 65 or over with dementia who are diagnosed was 51 per cent in 2015-16, this is up from 48.5 per cent in 2014-15 and 44.4 per cent in 2010-11 (from GP contract Quality and Outcomes Framework and disease registers at: http://gov.wales/statistics-and-research/general-medical-services-contract )

Within the Dementia Strategic Action Plan, due to be published later this year, we will be including a new target to increase the number of people formally diagnosed with dementia from the current baseline of 51% in 2015-2016.
