Appendix B: Quantitative analysis

The following tables outlines the results for each of the five of the closed questions in the consultation – the results for Q6A are included in the main report.

As not all respondents gave an answer to these questions, the quantitative analysis in the main report is based on those who answered each question.

For each question the following tables show:

  • The number of respondents from the total sample of 162 who selected each response, and the corresponding percentage.
  • The number and percentage response among those who answered each question, broken down by:
  • Individual and organisation responses.
  • By sector[10].
2B. When considering the rights of individuals who are unable to interact with their own health and social care data, do you feel that delegating access to a guardian/carer/trusted individual would be appropriate?
