Set ddata Child and infant mortality (by year of death), England and Wales

Correction

02 June 2026

We have corrected the following errors in our 2024 dataset:

In tables 1, 4, 5, 8, 9, 10 and 13, one death from 2023 was registered as both a stillbirth and a neonatal death. This was caused by an error in the registration process. With this correction, the number of stillbirths and perinatal deaths decreased by one and the number of live births increased by one.

In table 8, the numbers and rates for the “all gestational ages” category only included events from 24 weeks of gestation onwards. This was caused by the use of outdated code from a previous version of our analytical process. With this correction, all gestational ages are now included in this category.

In tables 5 and 8, a small number of values for unlinked births and deaths by ethnicity were missing. This was caused by a minor coding error. With this correction, these values have now been included.

In tables 9 and 10, individual values for England and Wales were incorrect. This was caused by a technical issue affecting our use of the code that processes them. With this correction, these values are now correct.

We apologise for these errors.
