User needs of Country and Regional Public Sector Finances statistics

Overview

Country and Regional Public Sector Finances (CRPSF) is an annual publication providing estimates of public sector revenue, expenditure and net fiscal balance across the UK countries and regions. As part of our commitment to continuous improvement and compliance with the Code of Practice for Statistics, we are reviewing whether the publication continues to meet user needs.

We would like to hear how you use CRPSF statistics, which outputs and data are most valuable to you, and whether there are any barriers to accessing, interpreting or using the information. We are also interested in suggestions for improvements to the content, level of detail, methodology, accessibility, presentation and supporting materials.

Whilst this survey is open to everyone, we are primarily interested in hearing from users of CRPSF and related subnational public finance statistics, including:

• UK government departments
• Devolved governments
• Local and regional government analysts
• Economists and policy professionals
• Academic researchers
• Internal ONS users

Feedback gathered through this consultation will help inform future decisions about the content, accessibility, methodology, level of detail and presentation of the publication.
