Presents a re-analysis of the large amounts of data (c.1600 interviews) collected during the two adult and two children's surveys conducted for the OPCS, 1985 - 1988, to exploit it more fully than the results already published by OPCS. Enormous computational problems have been resolved, and the design differences between the surveys have been taken into account. Even the definition of disability varies. Covers multiple disability, poverty and disability, allocation criteria, service provision and unmet needs, and many aspects of the care of disabled children with their families or in residential homes.
