Regional analysis of this type is particularly useful and interesting for Scotland which has its own separate services in a number of areas such as education and health, its own local government structure and its own legal system. The documents draw particular attention to occasions where the Scottish perspective differed from the national UK response. The findings provide useful information on attitudes to public services in Scotland, including views on possible innovations in the delivery of those services. The results of the two surveys are based upon a total Scottish sample of 401 and 255 respectively. While these sample sizes are sufficient to provide reasonably robust results based upon analysis of the whole sample, care should be taken when interpreting results based upon sub-samples.
