§ Mr. WelshTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland when he expects to complete work on and publish the results of the framework for action survey questionnaire.
§ Mr. Stewart[holding answer 14 July 1992]: Preliminary results from the framework for action survey were released on 2 June 1992. The final report is currently being prepared, and will be published at the beginning of August. The report will be placed in the House of Commons Library.
§ Mr. WelshTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland how many original copies and how many reminders and duplicate copies of the framework for action survey questionnaire were sent out by his Department; and what were the costs involved in each case.
§ Mr. Stewart[holding answer 14 July 1992]: The information and statistics division of the Common Services Agency sent out 37,705 questionnaires. In addition, all recipients of the questionnaires were sent reminder cards.
Samples for this survey were selected from three sources: from health board payrolls; all general medical and dental practices; and honorary consultants and associate specialists.
Duplicate questionnaires would only be received by members of staff in the unlikely event of their falling into more than one category and being selected in the separate samples, or where they are on the payroll of more than one health board and are selected under their separate payroll reference numbers.
The final costs of carrying out the work on this survey are not yet available.
