Across England and Wales one in 25 people (4.3 per cent of the usual private household population; 2.4 million people) are in ‘Good’ health despite a disability.

Among the disabled population, younger people are more likely to be in ‘Good’ health; more than half of all of disabled children are in ‘Good’ health (55.3 per cent) compared to a fifth (19.7 per cent) of the disabled population aged 85 and over.
