Breakdowns of the number of people in Great Britain who have had Access to Work provision approved by type of provision by financial year and by recorded primary medical condition by financial year are already published and can be found at https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/access-to-work-statistics (tables 2 and 3 respectively).

Information on referrals is not readily available and has not previously been published as official statistics. Information on how many people are in receipt of Access to Work grants by constituency or country is not readily available and has not previously been published as official statistics. We will consider whether it is feasible to produce the statistics requested and, if so, will issue them in an official statistics release in accordance with the Code of Practice for Official Statistics.
