Appendix A: Supplementary Time Series Data – Service Satisfaction and Relevance

This appendix contains time series data tables covering 2010 to 2020 for key questions covered in Chapter 4: satisfaction with individual PACE services and the relevance of service materials.

Data shows minimal variation and few significant changes across five research waves and therefore has been removed from the main body of this report.
