Why it matters

Annual and multi-year figures move slowly. A step this size is compared with how far the same series usually moves from one period to the next, so an ordinary year does not read as news.

For 4+ antenatal care visits, higher is better. This movement is therefore assessed as an improvement.

Historical context

Compared with the previous round, 2019–21. Survey rounds are years apart, so this is a change between rounds, not a recent movement.
