Child and Maternal Health

Proposed changes: Fingertips child and maternal health profile

In 2023, the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC), including the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities (OHID), NHS Business Services Authority (NHSBSA), UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA), Office for National Statistics (ONS) and NHS England (NHSE) sought views on possible changes to their health and social care statistical products. A response to this consultation was published in November 2024.

OHID would now like to ask users for their views on specific changes it plans to make based on the responses it received to this consultation. If you have any comments about these changes, please email pha-ohid@dhsc.gov.uk by 6 June 2025.

Introduction

The child and maternal health profiles offer a range of publicly available data on child and maternal health:

  • reports
  • tools 
  • other resources

Indicators can appear in more than one topic in the profiles. As new data becomes available, the indicators are updated.

Local organisations can work together to plan and commission evidence-based services depending on their local needs. The tool allows comparison between local populations to identify other areas to learn from. For each local authority this includes the 'closest 4' children's services statistical neighbours. These are defined by the Local Area Interactive Tool(LAIT).
