Proposed cessation of military search and rescue statistics
We are seeking your views on the proposed cessation of National Statistics on military search and rescue.
The Ministry of Defence (MOD) currently produces a National Statistics series (monthly, quarterly and annual) covering military search and rescue (SAR) statistics. From April 2015 the current mix of military and civilian search and rescue capacity will transition to a single civilian contract, managed by the Department for Transport (DfT). As part of this transition the production of military SAR statistics by the MOD will cease. Data on civilian SAR Helicopter (SAR-H) activities will be managed by the DfT and/or the Maritime Coastguard Agency (MCA).
We are now seeking external users’ views on the cessation of the MOD statistics and proposed changes to the 2015 military SAR series. Further details on the proposed changes and process can be found in the consultation document.
