Half of NHS trusts are providing poor care and hundreds of thousands are not being diagnosed

Half of NHS trusts are providing poor care and hundreds of thousands are not being diagnosed The NHS is failing dementia patients across huge swathes of Britain, official figures reveal.

Nearly half of England’s health boards offer poor standards of care, according to Ofsted-style scores.

The figures suggest hundreds of thousands of people are not even diagnosed. And many who do get a diagnosis have to wait for more than a year between their care assessments.

An estimated 850,000 people in the UK have dementia but the number is predicted to soar to two million by 2050. The Daily Mail
