A Note about Data Accuracy
Because there is no standard format for the reports, all data entry from the reports has been manual - i.e. me reading and inputting each report, one by one. While every effort has been made to ensure accuracy, it's possible for errors to creep in. The original reports are linked in each case which should allow validation of any figures on the spot.
