Preface
This report is the latest in a series based on a module of questions in the Scottish Social Attitudes survey on public attitudes to government and public services in post-devolution Scotland. The module was funded from 2004 to 2006 by the Scottish Executive's Office of the Chief Researcher. The main focus of this report is perceptions of the impact of devolution on public services in Scotland and perceptions of public service standards in the last year. A separate report in the same series focuses on public trust and other measures of engagement with government (Ormston & Sharp, 2007).
Note on the use of 'Scottish Executive' in this report
On 3 September 2007 the Scottish Executive changed its name to The Scottish Government. This decision was based on clear evidence 1 that the term "Scottish Executive" was confusing or meaningless to many members of the public. The fieldwork on which this report is based was conducted in 2006, before the official name change, and the questions therefore referred to the Scottish Executive. The term Scottish Executive is therefore used throughout the following report.
