Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly still lag behind most of the country when it comes to diagnosing dementia, the NHS has revealed.
However, this is despite NHS Digital showing nearly 5,000 over 65s in this county have been told they have the disease by their GPs - which is a record number.
Dr Alison Flanagan from NHS Kernow, which commissions health services here, says lost ground is being rapidly made up.
"There's a huge amount of very good work that's going on in Cornwall and that's increased the rates of people on the dementia register by about another 1,200."
