Dataset Birth characteristics

Correction

06 March 2023

An error was identified for birthweights and how implausible birthweights were calculated. This happened because of a technical fault when processing the data. The error affected Tables 5, 6, 7 and 19 of the 2021 edition of this dataset (Birth characteristics: 2021). The incorrect figures have been revised in the dataset.
