A Review

'Taking Scotland's 2001 Census - A Review' is the Registrar General's assessment of how the Census in Scotland measured up against its strategic aims:

• To ensure that the question content is appropriate to meet the demonstrated requirements of users;

• To deliver products and services to meet legal obligations and users' needs within stated quality standards and to a pre-defined timetable;

• To ensure that all aspects of the census data collection operation and the dissemination of results are acceptable to the public and comply with Data Protection law;

• To demonstrate that the Census represents value for money.
