Unsure how to answer "Available in bulk?":

• each dataset is available in bulk via a data selection form where users can choose time periods and data fields to export. However, there is no single downloadable archive with all the national statistics in it.

Reviewer comments

I didn't see any statistical archive that was available as a whole by it self. I changed it to "bulk" since you can get all of the time series in one download per dataset.
