Data
We work with people who live and work in Midlothian to plan our services. Our Engagement Statement (PDF) outlines how we do this and findings from recent consultations are included in the pages below.
You can read a summary of the consultation undertaken for the Strategic Plan 2022-25 (PDF).
We also use local and national data to help us assess and forecast the health and social care needs of the adult population of Midlothian and to make our plans.
