<p>Information on the numbers of people with sight impairment is collected by the
Health and Social Care Information Centre every three years. Data is not collected
at constituency level as part of the Registered Blind and Partially Sighted collection
and so a response has been provided covering East Sussex, the council with adult social
services responsibility which includes the Wealden constituency. According to the
Registered Blind and Partially Sighted People report for England for the year ending
31 March 2014, there were 1,915 people registered as blind and 1,990 people registered
as partially sighted within the East Sussex local authority area.</p>
