Please note that there are two questions that have been removed from the survey, The questions still appear in the report, but with no data. These questions appear on pages 4 and 8 of the PDF.

Free-text responses

NHSBSA holds free-text responses for some of the questions asked in the survey. Respondents were advised before completing the survey that responses would remain confidential, and we believe that disclosing the responses which were typed in would be a breach of confidentiality.
