Free Personal and Nursing Care: Methodology and background information, 2022-23
This document is part of a collection
Reason for changes
Local Authority names used in the supplementary tables published with the Free Personal and Nursing Care publication changed slightly between the 2021-22 and 2022-23 editions of the publication. This was to align names with the Government Statistical Service (GSS) naming and coding policy, used in other Government publications.
However, this means care must be taken if comparing tables from the 2022-23 or subsequent FPNC publications with those from 2021-22 or before. In particular, the alphabetical ordering of LAs in tables has changed due to the replacement of “Edinburgh” with “City of Edinburgh” and of “Eilean Siar” with “Na h-Eileanan Siar”.
