About

The purpose of this website is to present health and socio-economic data relevant to Scotland’s people.  The  format usually involves graphs or coloured maps which makes data easy to understand.  Data is selected because of its role in underpinning key metrics such as deprivation, health status, employment and education.

The author is an ex-NHS Data Analyst/Programmer who has experience in manipulating complex data to derive meaningful information.

Data
Most of the data has been sourced from other websites, frequently that of the Scottish or UK Governments (or is the result of a Freedom of Information request).  However, often that information is hidden away in a file with an obscure name or is gained by manipulating complex filters on a dynamic page – a format not easily navigated by non-data analysts. Links to the source data are provided.

The website is not politically affiliated and does not seek to promote or denigrate any particular party or political ideology.  Indeed, it is the author’s belief that all mainstream parties either in government or in opposition in both the UK and the devolved Scottish Governments have failed to provide transformative solutions to the changing global order over the past 30 years.
