The Office of the Public Guardian has reported that there are currently 33,581 deputies in the UK.

The information requested in relation to corporate appointees and deputies being in receipt of Universal Credit and Employment and Support Allowance is not collated centrally by DWP and could only be obtained at disproportionate cost.
