Statistical quality

A number of data items are unavailable for 2015-16. The scope of the social services data collections was reduced for 2015-16 in order to ease the burden on local authorities while they made preparations for the change to data requirements for 2016-17, following the Social Services and Well-being (Wales) Act 2014 coming into force.
