I have some questions on the general work done by ALONE post pandemic. How much has the pandemic impacted on loneliness in this country? We all have examples in our constituencies of people who have not ventured out of their homes much post pandemic. Has ALONE done research on the matter? Is there data on how much people's loneliness has increased following the Covid-19 pandemic?
