If anyone has requests for issues to be covered, please contact Elizabeth McLaren, Vasita Patel and Nicola Haines at ONS Message from Vital Statistics Outputs Branch, ONS about the births consultation: Dear colleague, We are planning to change the way in which birth statistics are published from the 2017 data year onwards. We plan to make explorable datasets for live births available in NOMIS<https://www.nomisweb.co.uk/> - these will provide detailed birth statistics; marriage, divorce and mortality data<https://www.nomisweb.co.uk/query/select/getdatasetbytheme.asp?theme=73> are currently available as explorable datasets. We plan to make four explorable datasets available for live births; the specification for these and consequential proposed changes to our annual publication tables are detailed in our consultation Proposed changes to ONS birth statistics<https://consultations.ons.gov.uk/health-and-life-events/proposed-changes-to-ons-birth-statistics>. We welcome feedback on these proposals - please provide feedback using the online feedback form<https://consultations.ons.gov.uk/health-and-life-events/proposed-changes-to-ons-birth-statistics/>. We will take account of all feedback received before making any changes.
