Roughly how many people 70+ in Jersey live by themselves?

C

How many people have sought medical advice for loneliness each year for the period 2007 to 2017?

Response

A

This information is not held.

B

The latest data available is from the 2011 census, which recorded 3,318 people 70 and over living alone.

C

There is no data available to answer this question as loneliness is not recorded as a primary diagnosis. Treatment may be provided for symptoms where loneliness is a factor, such as anxiety or depression, but this would not be recorded in a format which can be reported.
