Notes:

1. The data are obtained from sample surveys and are subject to sampling error. Sampling errors on results broken down by regions are considerably larger than those in the original, national table. (Table 2.15 in the second report of the OPCS surveys of disability: "The financial circumstances of disabled adults living in private households").

2. Further breakdown of the data shown in the table is not possible: sample numbers are too smal for the figures to be statistically reliable.
