The purpose of this section is to provide information on data sources that are commonly used in the field of Health and Community Care. The aim is to direct users to valuable sources of information and draw attention to any interesting aspects or peculiarities they contain so that future utilisation of the data is well-informed. Over time, information about future developments will be included. Information is currently presented in two sections:
Information at a Scotland level and/or international comparisons with other countries.
Information about useful health data available at sub-Scotland geographies
(e.g. Local Authority, Health Board, Police Force, Datazone and Community Planning Partnerships)
