You asked
I am aware that the dataset on parents' country of birth in 2024 was just announced. We would like to file an FOI on the number of live births where at least one of the parents' country of birth was from Hong Kong in 2024.
We said
Thank you for your request.
Please see the Parents' Country of birth dataset. You'll see this contains general data on Eastern Asia but not Hong Kong specifically.
We can provide information on live births where one of the parents' country of birth was Hong Kong broken down by region as a bespoke output for you. Such services are subject to legal frameworks, disclosure control, resources and agreements of costs. Please contact Health.Data@ons.gov.uk for more information.
As this information is reasonably accessible via another route, even if only on payment, Section 21 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA) applies.
