Health and social care - data strategy: consultation analysis
An independent analysis of the responses to our public consultation to inform the development of Scotland’s first data strategy for health and social care, due for publication in early 2023.
Appendix A: Respondent Profile
In total, 162 consultation responses were received. Individuals provided 62 responses to the consultation; the remaining 100 were from organisations.
Organisations were asked to select from a list which sector their organisation belonged to. In addition, 14 individuals also indicated the sector they worked in. The analyst team reviewed respondents' classification to ensure this was consistent and reclassified a few organisations where necessary. The option for Public Body was split into three sub-categories, and a new category for Representative / Membership Body was added.
The table below provides a full breakdown of the final sectoral classification.

It should also be noted that over four fifths of those responding as individuals (44%, 28 out of 63) responded from an NHS, Government or Academic email address, indicating some level of engagement with the topic, as opposed to being a lay member of the public.
