Notes of interpretation Chapter 1- Rated Results Number of responses - the number of patients within this site who provided a valid response to this question. Note that patients who indicated that a question was not relevant, or who did not know the answer, are not included in the results. Response - the percentage of positive, neutral and negative responses received for this question within this site. For example when asked if they were happy with the food and drink they received, the percentage positive refers to patients who strongly agreed or agreed. Where patients said they disagreed or strongly disagreed these responses have been counted as negative. Where patients neither agreed nor disagreed their responses have been counted as neutral. The coloured bars illustrate the percentage positive as green (darker green being very positive and lighter green being positive), and the percentage negative as red. Where answers were neither positive nor negative (neutral) the percentage is shown in yellow. Note that results have been rounded to the nearest whole percentage and this occasionally results in the sum of positive, neutral and negative percentages not adding up to exactly 100%; this is not an error. % Positive - the percent positive result; the total percentage of patients who responded positively (very positive + positive) to this question within this site. Change since - the change in the percent positive result within this site since the 2014 survey (for example, +2 means that the result in is two percentage points higher than in 2014). Difference from - the difference between this site's percent positive result and the equivalent result for NHS in (for example, -2 means that the result for this site in is two percentage points lower than for as a whole). Trend - the direction of change in the percent positive result within this site since the 2011 survey, illustrated by a coloured arrow. The change between 2011 and 2012, 2012 and 2014, and 2014 and is shown. Indicates a decrease in the percent positive result (a drop of at least 1 percentage point between the two integer (whole number) values). Indicates an increase in the percent positive result (an increase of at least 1 percentage point between the two integer (whole number) values). Indicates little or no change in the percent positive result (a difference of 0 between the two integer (whole number) values). Part of the Scottish Care Experience Survey Programme Page 4

S Indicates a statistically significant change / difference in the percent positive result. NT Indicates that a significance test was not carried out because fewer than five respondents within this site selected a positive response or a negative / neutral response. - - Indicates that a result has been suppressed due to the low number of valid responses to the question (less than 20). All results are weighted by the population of patients eligible to be randomly sampled for the survey. Weighting results in this way provides results which are more representative of the population.
