*Provisional data

†Provisions relating to laboratory notifications in the Health Protection (Notification) Regulations 2010 (SI 2010/659) came into force on 1 October 2010, and significantly improve and extend the existing arrangements for statutory notification of infectious diseases in England. The statutory notification by diagnostic laboratories of specified causative agents of infectious disease to the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA), which includes measles, mumps and rubella, will be reflected in future quarterly and annual summaries of confirmed cases of these infections.
