The answer

Answered by Ivan McKee on 16 Sep 2026 · 29 days after it was lodged, on time

The Scottish Government is committed to improving data availability and quality to support reporting against the National Indicators. The National Indicators bring together data published elsewhere and do not collect data specifically for monitoring. They provide a streamlined measure of progress across the work of the Scottish Government, the wider public sector, and Scotland more broadly. As source data improves, this will be reflected in the National Indicators.
