Question
To ask the Scottish Government how many (a) scheduled, (b) completed and (c) missed visits to participant households there have been in each week since the Coronavirus (COVID-19): ONS Infection Survey began in Scotland, and how this compares with other parts of the UK.
Answer
Management information provided below shows data on the number of scheduled, completed and missed visits to participant households there have been in each week since the survey began, from 21 September to 27 November. Data relate to non-unique household visits.
Visit Week | Households Scheduled | Households Completed | Incomplete Household Visits |
21 to 27 September | 508 | 264 | 244 |
28 September to 04 October | 1,374 | 840 | 534 |
05 to 11 October | 2,543 | 1,706 | 837 |
12 to 18 October | 3,650 | 2,536 | 1,114 |
19 to 25 October | 4,811 | 2,546 | 2,265 |
26 October to 01 November | 3,882 | 2,217 | 1,665 |
02 to 08 November | 5,056 | 2,522 | 2,534 |
09 to 15 November | 5,040 | 2,952 | 2,088 |
16 to 22 November | 5,456 | 3,532 | 1,924 |
23 to 27 November (partial week) | 4,436 | 2,633 | 1,803 |
The ‘Incomplete Household Visits’ statistic is calculated by subtracting the number of completed household visits from the number of scheduled household visits. A household visit that is incomplete in one week will likely be completed in a subsequent week.
The Scottish Government does not have this information for other parts of the UK, this is a matter for the Office for National Statistics who is conducting the survey on behalf of the Scottish Government.
