The Dementia Profile is designed to improve the availability and accessibility of information on dementia to inform the provision of care of people in England who have dementia. It provides indicators arranged into six data domains: six domains: prevalence; preventing well; diagnosing well; living well; supporting well; and dying well. These profiles are at clinical commissioning group and local authority geographies and give local commissioners and providers the information they need to benchmark current practice against other CCGs, local authorities and England. Data and metadata are available online and as a download document. (Edited publisher abstract)

This report presents results of a tool developed by York Health Economics Consortium to assess the potential return on investment (ROI) of falls prevention programmes targeted at older people living in the community. The tool pulls together evidence on the effectiveness and associated costs for four programmes where there was evidence of cost-effectiveness: Otago home exercise, Falls Management Exercise group programme, Tai Chi group exercise, and home assessment and modification. Based on an example analysis, all four interventions were found to be cost-effective, thus producing a positive societal ROI. One out of four interventions was also found to have a positive financial ROI (ie cost savings outweigh the cost of implementation). An accompanying Excel sheet allows for results to be tailored to the local situation based on the knowledge of the user. (Edited publisher abstract)
