4Rydings Hall Surgery	77.4	28.3%	102
5Church Lane Surgery	75.6	32.6%	113

The Practice Grade is on a scale of 0 to 100. The response rate and the number of survey answers show how large the base is: more answers give a surer grade. The trend column shows overall experience (the share of patients who describe the practice as good), 2024–2026, from the GP Patient Survey (question 32). It is the survey part of the Practice Grade, not the grade itself. Practices with fewer than 3 yearly results are shown without a curve.

Flu vaccination in Calderdale, winter 2025 to 2026

72.7% of patients aged 65 and over registered with GP practices in Calderdale had a flu vaccine between 1 September 2025 and 28 February 2026 (32,261 of 44,398). England: 74.5%.

Who	Calderdale	England
Aged 65 and over32,261 of 44,398	72.7%	74.5%
Under 65 in a clinical risk group14,373 of 37,412	38.4%	40.6%
Pregnant women847 of 2,171	39.0%	38.4%
Children aged 2719 of 1,998	36.0%	43.5%
Children aged 3820 of 2,155	38.1%	44.8%

The counts follow the GP practice, not where people live. They include vaccinations given in GP practices, pharmacies and other places that are recorded in the GP record. 99.3% of practices sent data. UKHSA says the number counted as pregnant may be too high, so uptake among pregnant women is probably understated.

These figures are for the NHS area that commissions the service, not for Calderdale and not for any GP practice. Most people refer themselves, so they say nothing about the quality of a practice.

Only people who finished a course in the month are counted, so people still waiting are not. Counts are rounded to the nearest 5, rates to the nearest whole per cent, and NHS England hides numbers under 5. One month can move by several points.

Hospital care and dementia

Measure	Calderdale	England
Emergency hospital admissions for falls, per 100,000 people aged 65 and over2024/25, age-standardised, likely range 1,744 to 2,017	1,877	1,958

Estimated dementia diagnosis rate, people aged 65 and over2026, as at 31 March, likely range 60.3 to 74.3	67.7%	66.3%

The hospital figures are age-standardised, so an older population does not raise them. Since 2022/23 some hospital trusts report same-day emergency care in another dataset, which can lower the admissions counted.

The dementia rate is the number of people with a recorded diagnosis out of the number estimated to have dementia. It is counted by where the practice is, not where patients live.

Care home beds per 100 people aged 75 and over2025	6.6	8.3
