answer text <p>From 2013-14 to 2015-16 we have seen 400,000 more disabled people in employment in the UK (see points 1 to 3 in the notes section). Over the same time we have seen the overall employment rate for disabled people increase by around 3 percentage points, where it now stands at 47 per cent.</p><p> </p><p>The table below shows the proportion of working age disabled people in employment by NUTS 1 region between 2010-11 and 2015-16. Please note that data is not available for 2009/10. In addition, due to changes to the definition of disability that were made in 2013, data for 2013-14 onwards cannot be compared with previous years.</p><p> </p><p>The majority of the regions saw increases in their disability employment rate broadly in line with that of the UK as a whole over the period 2013-14 to 2015-16. Similarly, the number of disabled people in employment increased in every region over the period. Though due to small sample sizes in the survey used, the observed trends may not indicate statistically significant changes.</p><p> </p><p>Table - The proportion of working age disabled people in employment in April to March of each year by NUTS 1 region from 2010-11 to 2015-16.</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p> </p></td><td colspan="2"><p>2010 -11 (%)</p></td><td><p>2011 -12 (%)</p></td><td><p>2012-13 (%)</p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p>2013-14 (%)</p></td><td><p>2014-15 (%)</p></td><td><p>2015-16 (%)</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>North East</p></td><td><p>40.1</p></td><td colspan="2"><p>38.0</p></td><td><p>39.5</p></td><td rowspan="12"><p>Figures pre 2013/14 should not be compared with figures from 2013/14 onwards</p></td><td><p>38.6</p></td><td><p>41.2</p></td><td><p>40.6</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>North West</p></td><td><p>41.3</p></td><td colspan="2"><p>41.3</p></td><td><p>41.8</p></td><td><p>39.2</p></td><td><p>40.0</p></td><td><p>43.4</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Yorkshire and Humberside</p></td><td><p>43.7</p></td><td colspan="2"><p>43.1</p></td><td><p>45.6</p></td><td><p>43.4</p></td><td><p>43.6</p></td><td><p>46.2</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>East Midlands</p></td><td><p>49.8</p></td><td colspan="2"><p>48.1</p></td><td><p>48.0</p></td><td><p>46.7</p></td><td><p>48.1</p></td><td><p>50.6</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>West Midlands</p></td><td><p>42.1</p></td><td colspan="2"><p>41.1</p></td><td><p>44.2</p></td><td><p>41.9</p></td><td><p>43.3</p></td><td><p>43.7</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Eastern</p></td><td><p>53.1</p></td><td colspan="2"><p>52.1</p></td><td><p>53.7</p></td><td><p>51.6</p></td><td><p>55.3</p></td><td><p>52.0</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>London</p></td><td><p>43.8</p></td><td colspan="2"><p>40.8</p></td><td><p>44.7</p></td><td><p>43.5</p></td><td><p>47.4</p></td><td><p>48.7</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>South East</p></td><td><p>53.9</p></td><td colspan="2"><p>52.5</p></td><td><p>52.5</p></td><td><p>52.8</p></td><td><p>54.4</p></td><td><p>55.4</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>South West</p></td><td><p>50.5</p></td><td colspan="2"><p>51.1</p></td><td><p>50.7</p></td><td><p>51.0</p></td><td><p>54.8</p></td><td><p>54.9</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Wales</p></td><td><p>39.9</p></td><td colspan="2"><p>40.2</p></td><td><p>42.0</p></td><td><p>41.6</p></td><td><p>42.3</p></td><td><p>43.3</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Scotland</p></td><td><p>44.3</p></td><td colspan="2"><p>43.9</p></td><td><p>42.8</p></td><td><p>39.7</p></td><td><p>42.0</p></td><td><p>41.8</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Northern Ireland</p></td><td><p>27.2</p></td><td colspan="2"><p>28.0</p></td><td><p>29.0</p></td><td><p>33.6</p></td><td><p>33.4</p></td><td><p>31.4</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>United Kingdom</p></td><td><p>45.5</p></td><td colspan="2"><p>44.6</p></td><td><p>45.8</p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p>44.4</p></td><td><p>46.4</p></td><td><p>47.3</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p>Source: Annual Population Survey, April to March 2010-11 to 2015– 16.</p><p>Notes:</p><ol><li>Note that these figures are based on the Annual Population Survey and differ to the labour market status of disabled people figures available at the link below:</li></ol><p><a href="https://www.ons.gov.uk/employmentandlabourmarket/peopleinwork/employmentandemployeetypes/datasets/labourmarketstatusofdisabledpeoplea08" target="_blank">https://www.ons.gov.uk/employmentandlabourmarket/peopleinwork/employmentandemployeetypes/datasets/labourmarketstatusofdisabledpeoplea08</a> which are based on the quarterly Labour Force Survey (LFS).</p><ol start="2"><li>The latest quarterly LFS figures for Q3 2016 show that the number of disabled people in work has increased by almost 600,000 since Q2 2013; currently over 3.4 million disabled people are in employment.
