| 3. Following a review of returns collected by the Health and Social Care Information Centre, councils were notified in September 2011 that the number of people registered as deaf would no longer be collected centrally. | |
| 4. Data are submitted by councils with social services responsibilities and therefore data for Lancaster city council (a district council) are not available centrally. | |
