No estimate has been made by the Department of the number of people diagnosed with Charles Bonnet Syndrome in the last year, it is not part of the Department’s role to directly raise awareness of any individual diseases with National Health Service clinicians.

The NHS website provides information on a number of diseases including Charles Bonnet Syndrome. This can be found at the following link:
