- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what estimate he has made of the number of people with chronic pain in each of the last five years.

No estimate has been made. The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence states the prevalence of chronic pain has been difficult to define.

An earlier review suggested that chronic pain affects between one-third and one-half of the population.
