Statistics are released as soon as possible after collection. Organisations were given from 17^th October 2023 to 12^th January 2024 to provide up to date information on the system. Data were finalised on 16^th January 2024 and after preparing the report was released on 8^th February 2024.

We work closely with our principal stakeholder to ensure that data meet the needs of the Government. This includes reviewing definitions and guidance on an annual basis and an extensive data validation programme during the collection period.

The collection has been reviewed by then Challenging Burden Service and approved by the Data Coordination Board (DCB). The collection exploits on-line technology to reduce the burden on organisations in completing and returning these data.
