Response
The information is contained within the sheets.
However, where the numbers are four or less, disclosure control has been applied and the numbers removed from the tables. This is to prevent possible identification of individuals.
Under section 38(1)(b) we have a duty to protect the personal information of individuals and if the low numbers were to be released, it could lead to the identification of individuals and their assessment needs. Information relating to someone’s assessment needs is deemed to be special category data and we need to ensure that this is not put into the public domain.
