Headline results from the National Survey for Wales, January-March 2012 produced by the Welsh Government were released on 27 September 2012 according to the arrangements approved by the UK Statistics Authority.

This release contains a selection of results from each of the wide range of topics that the survey covers.

The topics are:

  • overall satisfaction with the transport, health, education system and the Welsh Government;
  • access to and satisfaction with GP and hospital services;
  • schools;
  • local authority services;
  • wellbeing, including quality of the local area and financial inclusion;
  • internet use; and
  • smoke alarms.

To help analyse results on these topics, questions were also asked on tenure, age, sex, ethnicity, religion, household composition and employment.
More detailed analysis of the results will be published in topic-specific statistical releases from December 2012. The four bulletins currently planned are on wellbeing, health, education, and internet use. .
