Question
To ask the Scottish Government what proportion of the data in the High Rise Inventory on the construction and fire safety of high-rise domestic buildings was collected by (a) Capita and (b) ScotXed.
Answer
It is not possible to distinguish the data collected by Capita from that returned via the ScotXed system. The data collected by Capita was used to pre populate the database when it went live. Local Authority Building Standards departments then completed returns for all relevant buildings, either providing new information or verifying that the data collected by Capita was still accurate. In this way, the pre-population was intended to reduce burden on Local Authorities.
