Response
 

I attach a copy of the information you requested. You discussed your request with Guy McGivern (statistician, Health and Social Care Analysis) on 9 August and agreed that, due to differences in the quality and consistency of data across local authorities, these data would be provided at Scotland level only. A number of caveats concerning the information provided are noted in the attached spreadsheet.
