PRODUCED BY THE OFFICE FOR PUBLIC HEALTH IN SCOTLAND Notes
•Because there are no up to date population figures by constituency area, the 1991 census data were used. Therefore some percentages may be higher or lower in reality.
•The data used only represent one year and do not reflect the trend in these variables. Some figures (e.g. accident rates) may be random or they may be consistent over time. Trend data will be considered in any future developments of the profiles.
•Some rates are based on small numbers. Therefore large above/below average percentages for these variables should be interpreted with caution.
•Some of the variations in the indicators may be due mostly to the structure of the population within a constituency.
•Orkney and Shetland have been kept together as one profile due to the difficulties in splitting the data. Providing constituency level data for each is something that will be considered in future work.
