The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, pursuant to the Answer of 31 March 2025 to Question 40751 on GP Practice Lists, how is the proportion of the population with a limiting long-term illness calculated for each constituency.

Answered by Ashley Dalton

The proportion of the population living with a limiting long-term illness is the proportion of people who answered ‘yes’ to the question ’Do you have a limiting long-term illness?’ in the 2001 Census. This is calculated at a ward level, with no constituency-level data calculated or used.
