UK's ONS on ongoing data issues, reports the "Latest steps reaffirm commitment to quality over quantity"
Importance
Level 1
Measures include:
Ending our analysis on the night-time economy, and lifestyles and risk factors and reviewing our approach to other work previously funded by external organisations.
- Scaling back activity related to wellbeing statistics, including reducing publication of our main dashboard from a quarterly to an annual basis, supported by a shorter quarterly set of measures to meet new international requirements.
- Stopping further development of some subnational statistics - Health, Wellbeing and Place research will not progress and instead data will be made available to researchers through the Secure Research Service; Subnational estimates of tourism spending and Tourism Direct Gross Value Added will be stopped.
- Pausing our quarterly greenhouse gas emission (residence basis) statistics - annual greenhouse gas emissions statistics continue to be published by the ONS, DESNZ and Defra.
- Reducing the ONS's involvement in health surveys - the Health Survey for England and the Mental Health of Children and Young People Survey will no longer be run by the ONS as previously planned.
