Some documents on this website are not available as web pages. Instead they are published in non-HTML formats that may not be accessible to everyone, including PDFs and Word and Excel documents.
Viewing documents that are not available as web pages
You will find an accessible summary of any document that is not available as a web page, as well as the file type and size of the document. This allows you to decide whether the document will be useful to you.
Why we do not provide some documents as web pages
We have chosen to include non-HTML versions of content when time constraints mean the alternative is not to include the content at all.
