Scottish Health Survey questionnaire content: consultation analysis report April 2017

1. Introduction

The Scottish Government opened this consultation in order to seek users' views on the content of the Scottish Health Survey from 2018 onwards (procurement subject to Ministerial approval).

The Scottish Health Survey ( SHeS) is an annual, national survey that provides a detailed picture of the health of the Scottish population in private households and is designed to make a major contribution to the monitoring of health in Scotland. It is used by the Scottish Government and other stakeholders for forward planning, identifying gaps in health services provision, and identifying which groups are at particular risk of future ill-health.

More information on the survey, including previous results, can be found on the Scottish Government's Scottish Health Survey pages.

This report presents a summary of the feedback received through the consultation. The original consultation documents and the full consultation responses can be found on the Scottish Government's Consultation Hub.
