This report presents a range of statistics on people with a disability or long-term illness. It compares their social and economic circumstances with those of other people. About 1 in 3 people report having a long-term illness which affects their daily lives. Just over 1 in 5 people of working age have a limiting long-term illness. 1 in 4 people with a long-term illness have mental health problems. People with a disability are nearly twice as likely to have no qualifications as other people. People with a disability or long-term illness are more than twice as likely to be economically inactive (neither in work nor looking for it) than other people. The income of people with a disability or long-term illness is lower than that of other people. Working people with mental health problems are less likely to have a permanent job than people with other health problems. 1 in 3 renovation grants (about £30 million a year) were for facilities for disabled people. Numbers of vehicle disabled parking badges issued have doubled during the 1990s.

This report by the Welsh Neuroscience Expert Group Care Pathways sub-group outlines a process for the development of care pathways to support children, young people and adults with long term neurological conditions. The aim of these pathways is to help people with long term neurological conditions manage their condition, maintain independence and achieve the best possible quality of life through an integrated process of education, information sharing, assessment, care planning and service delivery. It is suggested that this would be as delineated in the National Service Framework for Long Term Conditions for England. Areas addressed are: early recognition, diagnosis and treatment; acute care; early specialist rehabilitation; community and longer term rehabilitation; transitions; vocational and educational rehabilitation; equipment and accommodation; personal care and support for the sufferer, their families and carers; palliative care, care within hospital and other health or social care settings; quality assurance, audit and development.
