The Office for Health Improvement and Disparities (OHID) has published the Public Health Outcomes Framework (PHOF) quarterly data update for March 2023.

The data is presented in an interactive tool that allows users to view it in a user-friendly format. The data tool also provides links to further supporting information, to aid understanding of public health in a local population.

The March release is in addition to the quarterly schedule for the PHOF (May, August, November and February) to incorporate new population estimates from the 2021 Census.

This update includes new data for 20 indicators.

  • 1 indicator from the overarching domain, life expectancy at birth and at 65
  • 7 indicators from the health improvement domain including hospital admissions related to children and older people, baby’s first feed breastmilk and percentage reporting a long term musculoskeletal (MSK) problem
  • 12 indicators from the healthcare and premature mortality indicators including under 75 mortality from various causes and hip fractures

The trend data have been removed for 17 of these indicators as revised mid-year population estimates for 2012 to 2020, based on the 2021 Census, are not yet available.
