Gap profile and summary
The profile reports the gap in each of the eleven domains; the summary reports access, experience, the gap and the gap types identified.
Access exceeds experience in 6 of the 11 domains. Large gaps (20 points or more) occur in health and care (+20.4) (access above experience) and in civic participation and voice (−32.8); service provision and assistance (−26.8); and leisure and community participation (−22.2) (experience above access). The gap is under 5 points in 2 of the ten public-service domains. Gap types: Access–Reach Gap, Administrative-Interface Gap, Organisational–Coordination Gap.
