2.4 Respondents were asked to give their views on those areas of the consultation that were of particular interest or relevance to them. Therefore, not all respondents chose to answer all the questions posed in the consultation Our approach to analysing the responses 2.5 The analysis was undertaken using response matrices for full and easy read responses. Respondents were categorised into stakeholder groups and responses were fed into the appropriate matrix, in accordance with the answer to the consultation question. 2.6 Where a respondent chose not to answer the consultation questionnaire, the response was read thoroughly and where the respondent directly answered any of the questions, the comments were fed into the relevant part of the appropriate matrix. 2.7 A qualitative approach has been the main focus of the analysis. Given the nature of the consultation and the fact that respondents had the option of using either the full or easy read respondent questionnaires (which did not always absolutely correspond), we grouped the questions into 26 themes. Table 2.2 identifies these themes and the consultation questions to which they relate. 11

The results of this analysis are presented in tabular form in Appendix 2. 2.9 While we have drawn heavily on this data to inform our qualitative analysis, we have not included detailed statistical data within the narrative, given the scope of the consultation and our objective to provide a clear and concise analysis. 12
