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).

Healthy and disability-free life expectancy and accompanying confidence intervals for Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board and Swansea Bay University Health Board between 2011 to 2013 and 2017 to 2019 have been revised. These Welsh health boards had a boundary change in April 2019 which was not reflected in the previous estimates published in January 2021. This resulted in no statistically significant differences to the estimates for these administrations.

Important notes and usage information

Some sheets in this dataset contain pivot tables. In these sheets, to select a population, place the cursor in the column you want to filter and then select from the list in the top left hand corner.

Subnational reporting in this release, which covers 2019 to 2021 and 2020 to 2022, is restricted to English regions; the local areas we usually publish in this release have been excluded because of concerns about statistical quality following a pattern of decreasing sample sizes of the Annual Population Survey, particularly in the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic period 2020 to 2022. The national and regional estimates between 2011 to 2013 and 2018 to 2020 in this dataset have been updated to include rebased mid-year population estimates from mid-2012 onwards following the 2021 Census in England and Wales, and in Northern Ireland. This replaces the previously published series, which used populations based on 2011 Census. Coverage is limited to England, Wales and Northern Ireland using rebased population estimates from the 2021 Census. Estimates for Scotland will be added following publication of its rebased population estimates from the Scotland 2022 Census.
