Coronavirus (COVID-19) roundup        

11 November 2020

Today, we have published analysis of the social impacts of COVID-19 on disabled people in Great Britain. The main points include:

• Half of disabled people who received medical care before COVID-19 began said their treatment had been affected; 29% said they were currently receiving treatment for only some of their conditions and 22% said that their treatment had been cancelled or not started
• This compares with 16% of non-disabled people who received treatment for only some of their conditions and 11% whose treatment had been cancelled or not started
• Almost half (45%) of those disabled people who had reported receiving a reduced level of treatment or had their treatment cancelled said they felt their health had worsened
