Consultation description
We would like your input as users on proposals 1 to 5. These proposals are intended to improve sequencing of our benefit Official Statistics in a way that makes sense to users, whilst ensuring we can redirect some resources to enable our statistical teams to deliver required development work to support transformation and respond to emerging policy priorities through development of new statistics and by providing additional context drawing on a wider range of source data to better inform the story.
