Statistical commentary: health visitor service delivery metrics, annual (February 2021 release)

Details

This release is for quarters 1 to 4 of 2019 to 2020.

Local authority commissioners and health professionals can use these resources to track how many pregnant women, children and families in their local area have received health promoting reviews at particular points during pregnancy and childhood.

The data and commentaries also show variation at a local, regional and national level. This can help with planning, commissioning and improving local services.

The metrics cover health reviews for pregnant women, children and their families at several stages which are:

  • antenatal contact
  • new birth visit
  • 6 to 8-week review
  • 12-month review
  • 2 to 2-and-a-half-year review

Public Health England (PHE) collects the data, which is submitted by local authorities on a voluntary basis.

See health visitor service delivery metrics in the child and maternal health statistics collection to access data for previous years.

Find guidance on using these statistics and other intelligence resources to help you make decisions about the planning and provision of child and maternal health services.

See health visitor service metrics and outcomes definitions from Community Services Dataset (CSDS).

Correction notice

Since publication in November 2020, Lewisham and Leicestershire councils have identified errors in the new birth visits within 14 days data it submitted to Public Health England (PHE) for 2019 to 2020 data. This error has caused a statistically significant change in the health visiting data for 2019 to 2020, and so the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities (OHID) has updated and reissued the data in OHIDs Fingertips tool.

A correction notice has been added to the 2019 to 2020 annual statistical release and statistical commentary but the data has not been altered.

Please consult OHIDs Fingertips tool for corrected data for Lewisham and Leicestershire, the London and East Midlands region, and England.
