HL Deb 11 July 1988 vol 499 cc701-2WA
Lord Carter

asked Her Majesty's Government:

When they expect to publish the Report of the Office of Population, Censuses and Surveys into disability and whether the report will be published as one complete report or in parts.

The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Department of Health and Social Security (Lord Skelmersdale)

The results of the surveys of disability conducted by the Office of Population Censuses and Surveys will be issued in a series of reports. We hope to publish the first report, on the prevalence of disability among adults, early in September. The second report, on adults' financial circumstances, is likely to be published in November with further reports following in 1988 and 1989.
