Recommendation 15
15
Paragraph: 67
Inadequate data comparability across UK nations hinders public service evaluation.
Conclusion
It is disappointing that - despite the ever-increasing amount of data available to policy-makers - there are many areas in which it is impossible to compare the experiences of those living in each of the four nations of the UK. This is detrimental to individual citizens, who are deprived of the ability to compare public services delivered in their part of the UK with those delivered in other parts. These issues were highlighted in a recent review of the UK Statistics Authority; but three months on from the report’s publication, although the issue appears to be a priority for Government, it has not yet made its full response on the issue known.
