​According to:

Section 2.1, para. 5 it states

5.         Data are validated upon entry into RON and the link with the birth notification enables later verification by ONS of those items of data that are present on both the birth notification and the birth registration. Should for any reason RON not be working, paper copies of the birth certificate are used and the data are entered into RON once it becomes available...

1. Received via the RON to the Office for National Statics since 2009 (when first implemented) - present?

2. How many statistical data received by the paper method since 2009 (when first implemented) - present?
