This dataset was previously published in the Coronavirus section of the website. It has a new title and page location for periods from 30 March to 10 April 2022 onwards, but will continue to present indicators from the Opinions and Lifestyle Survey of whether people experienced shortage of goods such as food, medicine and fuel when shopping. All previous versions of the dataset can be found on the Coronavirus and the Social impacts on Great Britain: personal experience of shortage of goods dataset page.
