New Survey – Client data(3) • Items required if LA’s unable to link their own data • Surname • Forename • Full date of birth • All of these variables will only be used to link the data for a Local Authority, they will not be on the analysis dataset.

This can only be achieved by using individual level data. • Individual level data that has the potential to be • linked longitudinally, • to other SG data collections and • to Health & Housing data.
New Survey - Concerns • Providing individual level to the SG • Data security • Data confidentiality • Need for fair processing notice https://www.scotxed.net/homecare/default.aspx • ProcXed provides a secure method of transferring and storing the data and is used currently by the Home care and SDS returns.
