How do you UNION with multiple CTEs?

Question

How do you use UNION with multiple Common Table Expressions?

I'm trying to put together some summary numbers but no matter where I put the ;, I always get an error

SELECT  COUNT(*)
FROM    dbo.Decision_Data
UNION
SELECT  COUNT(DISTINCT Client_No)
FROM    dbo.Decision_Data
UNION
WITH    [Clients]
          AS ( SELECT   Client_No
               FROM     dbo.Decision_Data
               GROUP BY Client_No
               HAVING   COUNT(*) = 1
             )
    SELECT  COUNT(*) AS [Clients Single Record CTE]
    FROM    Clients;

UPDATE: I appreciate in the example above I can move the single CTE to the beginning, but I have a number of CTEs I'd like to UNION

If you are trying to union multiple CTEs, then you need to declare the CTEs first and then use them:

With Clients As
    (
    Select Client_No
    From dbo.Decision_Data
    Group By Client_No
    Having Count(*) = 1
    )
    , CTE2 As
    (
    Select Client_No
    From dbo.Decision_Data
    Group By Client_No
    Having Count(*) = 2
    )
Select Count(*)
From Decision_Data
Union
Select Count(Distinct Client_No)
From dbo.Decision_Data
Union
Select Count(*)
From Clients
Union
Select Count(*)
From CTE2;

You can even use one CTE from another:

With Clients As
        (
        Select Client_No
        From dbo.Decision_Data
        Group By Client_No
        Having Count(*) = 1
        )
        , CTE2FromClients As
        (
        Select Client_No
        From Clients
        )
    Select Count(*)
    From Decision_Data
    Union
    Select Count(Distinct Client_No)
    From dbo.Decision_Data
    Union
    Select Count(*)
    From Clients
    Union
    Select Count(*)
    From CTE2FromClients;
