The number of people leaving the workforce due to long term sickness is at its highest since the 1990s, a report suggests.

Adults economically inactive due to ill-health rose from 2.1m in July 2019 to a peak of 2.8m in October 2023, said the Resolution Foundation.
It is the "longest sustained rise" since 1994-1998, when records began.
The report comes after the ONS said more than a fifth of UK adults were not looking for work.
