Corrections

02 June 2026

We have corrected an error in our 2023 dataset. We have removed rows in Table 5 for deaths by cause and ethnicity where values were incorrectly given a value of zero. These were created due to a coding error. We apologise for this error.

We have corrected errors in the 2022 edition of our workbook.

In Tables 9 and 10, infant mortality rates and neonatal mortality rates were incorrect. This was caused by human error and has been corrected.

In Table 12, mortality rates for infants and neonates born inside a marriage or civil partnership were incorrect. This was caused by human error and has been corrected.

We apologise for these errors.
