They are used for a wide range of purposes including: * Informing the general public's choices, e.g. lifestyle choices around road safety * Government decision making through policy making and policy monitoring * Resource allocation * Informing public marketing campaigns e.g. road safety * Supporting third sector activity e.g. lobbying and funding applications * Facilitating academic research. xsd:string

Revisions http://statistics.gov.scot/def/statistical-quality/revisions

The new supplier of the National Entitlement Card programme is able to provide a more detailed split of card holder eligibility than Transport Scotland received previously. As well as being able to better identify eligibility, the new reports also identify duplicate cards i.e. where a customer has a card due to expire at the end of the month and a replacement has been issued, so these can now be excluded from the totals. These changes mean that data for 2013 onwards is not directly comparable with earlier years. Figures for Young Scot disability cards were mistakenly excluded from the figures for 2013. The figures have now been corrected. xsd:string
