answer text <p>Immunisation against influenza for the 2014-15 season commenced in September and good progress has been made. Provisional percentage vaccine uptake rates for various groups as at week ending 19 October are shown in the following table (figures relate to England):</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Age Group</p></td><td><p>Uptake Rate (%)</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>People aged 65 years or older</p></td><td><p>44.6</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>People aged six months to under 65 years in risk groups</p></td><td><p>25.2</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Pregnant women</p></td><td><p>22.4</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Children aged two years old</p></td><td><p>8.1</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Children aged three years old</p></td><td><p>8.8</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Children aged four years old</p></td><td><p>6.5</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Vaccine uptake rates for those aged 65 and over, those under 65 with a clinical condition, and pregnant women are slightly higher than at the same point in the last two years.

answer text <p>Public Health England (PHE) strongly encourages women to take a folic acid supplement from before they are pregnant to the 12th week of pregnancy, to reduce the risk of having a baby with a neural tube defect. This advice is included in public health messages around pregnancy and planning a pregnancy.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>National Institute for Health and Care Excellence guidance states that advice on folic acid supplementation should be provided as part of antenatal care at first contact with a healthcare professional. Advice on folic acid supplementation for women who are pregnant or planning a pregnancy, is disseminated through a variety of sources including the NHS Choices website, the NHS Information Service for Parents, the charity ‘Tommy’s’, and Start4Life - PHE’s campaign to give babies the best start in life and reduce the risk of poor health in the future.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>PHE has recently established a media partnership to communicate the key healthy behaviour messages prior to conception in more mainstream women’s magazine media.</p><p> </p><p><strong> </strong></p><p> </p><p>In addition, the Department has commissioned the Behavioural Insights Team to look at innovative approaches to raising awareness of the need to take folic acid supplements during pregnancy. This programme of work is scheduled for completion by the end of January 2015.</p><p> </p><p><strong> </strong></p><p> </p><p><strong> </strong></p><p> </p>

FCEs are counted against the year in which they end. Figures do not represent the number of different patients, as a person may have more than one episode of care within the same stay in hospital or in different stays in the same year.</p><p> </p><p>[2] The primary diagnosis is the first of up to 20 (14 from 2002-03 to 2006-07 and 7 prior to 2002-03) diagnosis fields in the Hospital Episode Statistics (HES) data set and provides the main reason why the patient was admitted to hospital.</p><p> </p><p>[3] The number of episodes where the procedure (or intervention) was recorded in any of the 24 (12 from 2002-03 to 2006-07 and 4 prior to 2002-03) procedure fields in a Hospital Episode Statistics record. A record is only included once in each count, even if the procedure is recorded in more than one procedure field of the record. Note that more procedures are carried out than episodes with a main or secondary procedure. For example, patients undergoing a ‘cataract operation’ would tend to have at least two procedures – removal of the faulty lens and the fitting of a new one – counted in a single episode.</p><p> </p><p>[4] Assessing growth though time. HES figures are available from 1989-90 onwards. Changes to the figures over time need to be interpreted in the context of improvements in data quality and coverage (particularly in earlier years), improvements in coverage of independent sector activity (particularly from 2006-07) and changes in NHS practice. For example, changes in activity may be due to changes in the provision of care.</p><p> </p><p>[5] There is no available data for 2013-14.</p><p> </p>
