Details

Quarter 1 and quarter 2 official statistics on health visitor service delivery metrics. Information is presented at local authority of residence, region and England level.

The metrics cover health reviews for pregnant women, children and their families at several stages which are:

  • antenatal contact
  • new birth visit
  • 6 to 8 week review
  • 12 month review
  • 2 to 2 and a half year review

The data was collected through an interim reporting system, Children’s public health 0 to 5 years: national reporting, set up to collect health visiting activity data at a local authority resident level. Data is submitted by local authorities on a voluntary basis.

The Community Services Data Set (CSDS) will be used as the basis for these metrics in the longer term, once the data quality has reached a suitable quality.

Local authority commissioners and health professionals can use these resources to track how many pregnant women, children and families in their local area have received health promoting reviews at particular points during pregnancy and childhood.

Quarterly figures are provisional and subject to revision, and they are released for the purpose of providing timely figures. The most recently published file supersedes any previously published files.

Quarter 3 and quarter 4 and annual data will be added to this page as they are released.
