Improving ONS spatial referencing--the impact on 2000 births and deaths data.
This article describes the improvements in the way that ONS will be allocating births and deaths data to administrative and health areas in England and Wales, beginning with data for 2001. Births and deaths registered in 2000 are used to examine the differences in area allocations at ward, local authority and health authority levels, which this change will introduce. Differences in the geographical characteristics of births and deaths are also described.
