ONS is in the process of carrying out a review of Civil
Registration. This covers the birth, death and marriage
registration systems. One of the very important outputs
from these administrative systems is statistical
information. This is used extensively for planning,
resource allocation and research.
Now is your opportunity, as a statistics user, to have your
say about how the statistical information collected could be
improved. What new information would you like to see
collected? Perhaps you are interested in infant mortality
rates by ethnic group - ethnicity is not currently collected
on any registration system. Could the quality of the
information be enhanced and, if so, how?
The lecture theatre is in University College London and
people who intend to come should notify us in advance by e-
mailing [log in to unmask] or, if not on e-mail, phone
0171 533 5246.
