User feedback on NDTMS statistics sought by to UKSA

the UK Statistics Authority is currently assessing the following statistics produced by Public Health England:

- Substance Misuse among young people
- Alcohol Treatment Activity
- Drug Treatment Activity

You can find these statistics at: http://www.nta.nhs.uk/statistics.aspx

As part of the assessment process we gather views from users and suppliers of the statistics. Meeting user needs is an important part of the Code of Practice, so we would be grateful if you could respond to the following questions:

1. Why are these statistics of interest to you? (Please indicate which of the statistics you use, how you use them or how you would like to be able to use them.)

2. How well do these statistics meet your needs? (e.g. comprehensiveness, level of detail available, presentation, accessibility, timeliness, commentary, explanation of methods.) How could they be improved?

3. How satisfied are you with the way that the producer team in Public Health England engages and consults with you as a user? (For example, if you have had any communication with them about these statistics in response to email enquiries, at user days, consultations.)

4. It may be useful for us to share your comments with Public Health England, to enable them to take account of your views as they develop the statistics. Please indicate clearly whether you are happy for us to pass your comments and contact details on.

Please either respond to this email with your comments or call us on 0207 592 8665.

We hope to hear from you.
