The following statistical factsheets have been updated on the profile
The factsheets can be found by selecting ‘Reports’ from the ‘Data view’ drop down.
Please note the factsheets updated here have only been produced for the 100 sub-ICB locations and 34 ICB geographies whose boundaries remain unchanged as of July 2022. The factsheets remain labelled with their previous CCG and STP names. Factsheets for previous boundary versions remain available on the dementia profile.
Updated indicator
The following indicator has had historical data added to provide a short time series. The data added is a conversion of data reported previously in older geography boundaries, now revised to report in the latest geography boundaries for local authority, CCG and STP levels.
