Table 320 gives the frequency of speaking to family, friends or neighbours. Overall,
85% of respondents speak to family, friends or neighbours most days and virtually all
respondents people speak to one or more of these groups of people at least weekly.
0.5% speak to family, friends or neighbours monthly or bi-monthly and a further 0.2%
speak to these people annually or have not spoken to these people within the last year.
So whilst the percentage who could be socially isolated 62 are small, they could add up to
a small but significant total number across all of Hull.
