That the Parliament believes that there is a lack of comprehensive, centrally collected data by the Scottish Government across key devolved policy areas, in particular health, education and social security; considers that a lack of basic data hinders transparency and undermines the ability for MSPs to scrutinise policy and hold the Scottish Government to account; believes that a lack of data also limits the ability for evidence-based policy-making, and notes the calls for the Scottish Government to establish a coordinated framework for the collection, standardisation and publication of data, and to ensure that it is timely, consistent and publicly accessible, to inform decision-making and enhance public trust and confidence, including in the Central Scotland region.
