Population Estimates

We added the number and percentage of over 70s on 30 March as this is a key COVID response age grouping.

Public Health Outcomes Framework:

The PHOF dataset was updated on 24 Feb with the February data. A change to the processing has led to a number of indicators being reorded. A number of indicators have now been deprecated. These are available in the system but will no longer be updated. We have adjusted the indicator names to include the term DEPRECATED. If you have used these indicators in your reports we advise amending your reports to use the new indicators that will continue to be updated.

Wards

Following discussion with affected customers we are in the process of updating Wards (and other geographies) to the latest boundaries. As there can be a significant delay between new boundaries being released and data being made available for them we will be calculating where possible estimated values for the new areas based on the best fit of smaller geographies. The metadata for affected data will be amended to reflect that the source may be a mixture of published and derived values.
