Abstract The Municipal Database for Social and Health Statistics in Finland (SOTKA) covers the statistics produced for local use by social and health services. About 60 % of the municipalities use this database. It was found that the best way to promote the diffusion of information is a network connecting the providers and the users of statistics. The experiences are encouraging.
