Statistics

This page is for anyone looking for PHA statistics and data, including researchers, policy makers, health professionals and members of the public.

PHA produces a range of statistics, research and analysis to help understand population health and support public health planning and decision-making.

‘Official Statistics’ are those published by a range of UK government bodies both crown and non-crown. These tend to be pre planned and on-going publications and cover a wide range of topics. They should meet certain criteria around their neutrality and how they are derived, produced and published. The UK Statistics Authority's Code of Practice for Official Statistics sets out the key principles and protocols which official statisticians are expected to follow and uphold.

‘Accredited Official Statistics’ are a subset of official statistics which have been certified by the UK Statistics Authority as compliant with its Code of Practice for Official Statistics.  Find out more at UK Statistics Authority
