General description

This dataset provides numbers of People with Disabilities, by Gender and Local Authority

Data collection and calculation

These data are taken from the ANNUAL datasets from the Annual Population Survey (APS) for 2005 onwards and the Welsh Local Labour Force Survey (WLLFS) prior to that. These surveys are carried out by the Office for National Statistics (ONS). The data for Wales are based on an enhanced sample (around 350 per cent larger) compared to earlier years. APS data are collected throughout the year and are published for calendar years. WLLFS data was published for the year ended February, each year i.e. 2001 WLLFS data relates to year ended February 2002. The data do NOT exactly match annual averages derived from the 4 QUARTERLY datasets in each year due to differences in the sampling structure.

DDA disabled includes those persons whose health problem is covered under the Disability Discrimination Act 1995, whereas work-limiting disabled covers those people whose problem affects the kind or quantity of paid work they can do. Total disabled includes DDA disabled, work-limiting disabled or both.

Working age population is used as the base for disability rates as the questions are only asked consistently for people of working age.
*NOTE*
Due to the addition of a short introduction at the start of the disability module in 2010 quarter 1, a discontinuity was identified in the series, affecting this period onwards.

The impact of this introduction is thought to be positive in that it prepares respondents for the set of disability questions. Any increase caused by this change should result in a more complete measure of actual disability. This change to the introduction added to the disability module in quarter 1 2010 is thought to be the key driver of the step increase in disability. The earlier estimates can still be considered 'best estimates' for those periods and should give a robust picture of changes over time, however, direct comparisons between pre- and post- 2010Q1 estimates should not be made. In addition, due to the rolling annual time periods used in the APS, this change will gradually affect the estimates between 2010 Q1 and 2010 Q4 and will only reach a consistent basis from 2010 Q4 onwards.

In April 2013 the Office for National Statistics (ONS)’s Annual Population Survey (APS) adopted a new standardised question on individuals with health problems. This has led to a discontinuity in the series between responses for March 2013 and April 2013. Therefore, this time series currently only goes up to March 2013.

Rounding applied

Figures are rounded to the nearest 100 and so there may be some apparent slight discrepancies between the sum of constituent items and the totals as shown.

Revisions information

Note - 30 June 2016 - ONS have reweighted the APS to take account the latest population data. Therefore, all estimates from quarter 4 of 2012 to quarter 4 2015 have been revised.

Statistical quality

As the data come from a survey, the results are sample-based estimates and therefore subject to differing degrees of sampling variability, i.e. the true value for any measure lies in a differing range about the estimated value. This range or sampling variability increases as the detail in the data increases, for example local authority data are subject to higher variability than regional data.

These annual results refer to the period March to February each year. However, as the results from the quarterly surveys are combined with results from additional persons sampled, they provide a more robust (boosted) dataset, with estimates subject to much lower sampling variability than the quarterly LFS.
