You asked

Please can you provide yearly statistics on the incidence of children born with cerebral palsy in the UK from 2007-2017. If possible, please also provide data on the severity of cerebral palsy.

We said

Thank you for your enquiry.

We hold data on the number of children who have died with an underlying cause of death to cerebral palsy for England and Wales.

We do not hold any data on the diagnosis or severity of cerebral palsy, therefore, we are not able to provide you with statistics on children born with cerebral palsy. You might be able to obtain this information from NHS digital.

You can contact NHS digital at: enquiries@nhsdigital.nhs.uk.

If you would like any further information, you can contact the team directly at: vsob@ons.gov.uk
