Health Surveys Service

Our analysts and data experts have experience of running complex health surveys and we can facilitate national surveys on behalf of government departments and public bodies.

The service includes: 

• offering advice on running and commissioning national surveys
• commissioning and managing whole surveys
• including additional questions in existing surveys
• including additional sample boosts in existing surveys (such as for a certain geographical area or demographic group)

There is no charge for this data apart from when a bespoke version of the product has been requested.

If you are interested in funding content or commissioning a survey you can get in touch to discuss your requirements and we will provide costings.

If you are interested in requesting data, all of our surveys are available as anonymised datasets from the UK Data Service at no charge.

If you wish to request a bespoke version of the survey data there will be a charge for this.
