An agenda will be circulated later in the month and will include feedback on responses to the infant mortality consultation and further information about the

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 - these will provide
detailed birth statistics; marriage, divorce
and mortality data
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.
We welcome feedback on these proposals - please provide feedback using the
online feedback form.
We will take account of all feedback received before making any changes.
Thank you for your input
