Request
“I would be grateful if you could provide more granular data for West Lothian.
Specifically, I would welcome:
A West Lothian-level breakdown of bowel screening uptake (or nearest available geography, e.g. HSCP/locality level).”
“Uptake by SIMD quintile within West Lothian, where available.”
“Any available trend data over recent reporting periods to assess whether inequalities are widening locally?”
“Information on variation by age and sex within West Lothian.”
“Any insight or analysis PHS holds on barriers to participation in lower-uptake communities locally. Details of targeted interventions or best practice approaches currently being used to improve uptake in areas of deprivation.”
“More broadly, I would be interested to understand whether there are plans to publish this level of localised data on a routine basis.”
