- Scottish Housing Quality Standard Review
While producing the Scottish House Condition Survey Key Findings 2007, an error was identified with the Scottish Housing Quality Standard (SHQS) coding. The error affects individual elements of the SHQS, the overall measures of the SHQS, the time series and the Local Authority figures.
In line with the National Statistics Code of Practice, we have carried out a complete review of all the element codes.
The revised 2007 Key Findings Report as well as the SHQS time series are now published. The documentation to fully explain the errors and changes made is also available. Revision Note - SHQS.
