These derive from record level administrative data collected on all children, which is collated at a local level and is statistically significant. This makes it possible to benchmark the outcomes for local areas against the national average and other areas of the country.</p><p>These data are available at the following link:</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/breastfeeding-statistics" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/breastfeeding-statistics</a></p> answering member constituency Thurrock answering member printed Jackie Doyle-Price question first answered 07/02/2019 17:18:46 answering member 4065 label Biography information for Dame Jackie Doyle-Price
