Changes for this release
Statistics for winter 2020 to 2021 onwards are produced under a new methodology due to a change in data source. Therefore, users should avoid making comparisons to statistics produced under the previous methodology.
Following the change in data source, statistics from this release are labelled as experimental and will only include recipient statistics. Household level statistics are under development.
You can find more information about these changes in the background, quality and methodology report.
