Provides files to download data as it existed for this dataset on previous dates.

Statistics are most often revised for 1 of 2 reasons:

  1. For certain statistics initial estimates are released with the expectation that these may be revised and updated as further data becomes available.
  2. Revisions may also be made when methods or systems are changed.

These types of planned revisions should not be confused with errors in released statistics, which are genuine mistakes. Such mistakes occur rarely and, when they do happen, corrections are made in a timely manner, announced and clearly explained to users in line with the Code of Practice for Official Statistics (Principle 2, Practice 7).

Important notes and usage information

In table 16 of Child Mortality in England and Wales datasets for 2015 and 2016, due to a manual processing error, the under 1 day figure and 1 day and under 1 week figure for 2015 was incorrectly reported as 1,015 and 421 respectively rather than 1,016 and 420. We have corrected this error. You can see all previous versions of this data on the previous versions page. We apologise for any inconvenience.
