Annex A: About survey respondents

Where possible, information from survey respondents was matched to demographic information previously supplied by Experience Panels members. The following demographic tables are included to provide context to the findings presented in this report. The tables show proportions based on available information and the total number of respondents is given as (n) in the table title.

Where the result for a category was lower than 5 per cent, this number has been suppressed to preserve anonymity. This is shown as # in the tables. So that the suppressed figure cannot be calculated from other values shown, the next smallest category has also been suppressed in the table.
