Maggie Throup, Member of Parliament for Erewash, recently popped along to a parliamentary event to find out more information about dementia diagnosis rates in Erewash.

At the drop-in event, hosted by the Alzheimer’s Society, Maggie learnt that the dementia diagnosis rate in Erewash is 70.6 per cent, which is above the national ambition.

Maggie commented:

“It was great to pop along to the Alzheimer’s Society’s drop in event and show my support for Dementia Awareness Week 2023.

“At the event I was able to get more information about the diagnosis rate in Erewash. I was pleased to learn that the dementia diagnosis rate in our area is above the national ambition.

“Nonetheless, everyone living with dementia deserves an accurate, timely, and high-quality dementia diagnosis so they can access vital care and support, and plan for their future.” 

The national ambition for dementia diagnosis is that two-thirds of people with dementia should have a formal diagnosis.

To highlight regional variations, the Alzheimer’s Society have developed a traffic light system showing each Local Authority’s dementia diagnosis status. Erewash is Green. This means it is exceeding the national target that two-thirds of people living with dementia should have a formal diagnosis.

Maggie supports unpaid carers in Erewash during Carers Week

Wednesday, 7 June, 2023

This week is Carers Week, and I am pleased to support Carers UK’s call for government action to identify and support unpaid carers. Too often carers aren’t supported to recognise their caring role quickly, so they miss out on vital support. This must change.
