You asked
In Table 8 of Births in England and Wales: linked births, you provide data on a) births by ethnicity OR b) by IMD decile.
I would like to get data on births by ethnicity and IMD decile to see the intersection of the two – e.g how many births to people who were say White British in Decile 5? I would be happy to have whole years rather than quarters and am interested in 2023, 2024 and 2025.
We said
Thank you for your request.
We have not created any data on live or still births by ethnicity and Index of Multiple Deprivation (IMD) decile. However, information on the number of annual live and still births by ethnicity and IMD decile in England and Wales in the years 2023 to 2025 along with other special extracts and tabulations of births data for England and Wales are available to order, subject to legal frameworks, disclosure control, resources and agreements of costs. If you would like to request this bespoke dataset, please contact Health.Data@ons.gov.uk to discuss your enquiry further.
