In a 2001-2 survey, more households without a car reported access difficulties to amenities than those who had a car - 47 per cent had difficulty getting to a hospital, compared with 26 per cent with a car. By 2000, 86 per cent of rural parishes had no GP based in the parish, 71 per cent had no general store, 46 per cent no post office and 76 per cent no daily bus service.
In a 2001 survey of disabled people, 16 per cent had difficulty going shopping, and 10 per cent difficulty going to a cinema, pub or restaurant. The proportions with difficulty accessing goods and services had changed little since 1996.
The number of households in temporary accommodation in England had risen to 94,000 by 2003. The number of 'fuel poor' households fell by around 60 per cent between 1996 and 2001.| Ref No | Indicator | QOLC 1999 | QOLC Updated Assessment | ||||
