The aim of the Welsh Health Survey was to collect information on a cross-section of the population with a range of illnesses or disabilities and on similar groups of healthy people, without using any medical records. Its results provide a picture of the health and well-being of adults in Wales and their use of and satisfaction with health services. The dataset contains details of responses to the survey (which was conducted by means of a self-completion postal questionnaire, completed by almost 30,000 adults), with a separate record for each respondent. It includes details about respondents' general health, specific illnesses for which they had been treated, use of the health service and satisfaction with the service provided, self-perceived physical and mental well-being (using SF-36 health status questions), and details about respondents and their lifestyle.
