There is no statutory requirement that my right hon. Friend should collect and publish such information, but the Department does so as part of normal service activities.

Figures relating to the numbers of registered blind and partially sighted people in Wales are published annually at table 7.1. of the Welsh Office publication "Activities of Social Services Departments" giving those on the register at 31 March of each year together with the number added during the previous 12 months.

Data for the year ended 31 March 1983 were published on 30 April 1984 and that for the year ended 31 march 1984 will be published early next year.
