The city is more disabled, lonely and anxious than it was a decade ago, a new council health survey has found. The Health Counts 2024 report, based on almost 17,000 anonymous responses to a survey, has found big differences in health between different areas and population groups. It found the number of people describing themselves in good health or better had fallen from 83% in 2012, when the survey was last carried out, to just 69%.
