Gender Equality Scheme

5.1 Current priorities are:

to launch the ScotlandsPeople Centre to create a one-stop-shop for genealogy services from GROS, the National Archives of Scotland (NAS) and the Court of the Lord Lyon (CLL). The Centre is scheduled to open in March 2008;
to develop an e-Registration service as an additional channel alongside registration at local registration offices; and
to continue planning for a 2011 Census, including working with the Office for National Statistics (ONS) and the Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency (NISRA), to deliver a Census that meets both Scottish and UK needs.
