| Annotation | The Health survey of England comprises a series of annual series, of which the 2000 survey is the tenth. The Health Survey series is part of an overall programme of surveys commissioned by the Department of Health (DH), and designed to provide regular information on various aspects of the nation's health. This report is one of five topic reports based on data from the 2000 survey. Using an adaptation of the World Health Organization (WHO) classification system for impairments, disabilities and handicaps (ICIDH), the survey's disability questions covered limitations in functional activities (seeing, hearing, communication, walking and using stairs) and activities of daily living (ADLs) (getting in and out of bed or a chair, washing, eating and toileting). Questions on continence were also included. Statistics are presented on the prevalence and severity of different types of disabilities. (RH). |
