This is the updated response. As you see the decennial analyses of inequalities in health have definitely been cut, although there are some weasel words to suggest they will be done in some ad hic way. '**** Outputs 31, 34, 36, 37 and 38 - While ONS will no longer produce these specific outputs, it will continue to work closely with Public Health England and Department of Health for England, Public Health Wales and Welsh Government (where there is Wales data) on health inequality analyses which will be needed to provide the evidence base for national policy and local delivery in this vital area.' This raises the question of why there appears to be money for them to be done in bits and pieces, which might tunr out to be more expensive, but definitely of lower quality than doing them properly.

Subject: Updated response to ONS consultation on statistical products
ONS has today published an updated response to the Consultation on Statistical Products, which was open for public comment during September and October 2013.
The consultation sought views on the impact of proposed cuts to statistical outputs, necessitated by a reduction in ONS funding.
ONS published its response to the consultation in February 2014. The response identified three categories of outputs: 16 that would continue to be produced by ONS; 15 that would continue if alternative sources of funding could be found; and seven that ONS would stop.
In the period following the end of the consultation, ONS has met with a number of government departments and public bodies to discuss possible funding for the outputs in the second category. Following these constructive discussions, alternative funding or alternative solutions have been found for five of the 15 outputs. These will now continue. The remaining ten outputs will be discontinued, however, other sources of data will continue to be available for some of these. More detail is provided in the published update and I attach a link to this http://www.ons.gov.uk/ons/about-ons/get-involved/consultations/consultations/statistical-products-2013/updated-response-to-ons-consultation-on-statistical-products-2013/index.html
. The final outcome for all 38 statistical products consulted on is listed in Annex A of the report.
ONS would again like to thank all respondents for taking the time to participate in this consultation.
