§ Jacqui SmithThe information requested is not available centrally. However, the psychiatric morbidity survey carried out by the Office for National Statistics and published in 1995 provided some information on the prevalence of psychiatric disorder by employment status. A copy of this report has been placed in the Library. A repeat psychiatric morbidity survey took place in 2000. The results of this survey are not yet available.
