Why it matters
The value is judged against the median of the same period in up to five earlier years, using a robust measure of spread. A breach means this period sits well outside what those years would lead you to expect.
For MCV1 doses per 100 BCG doses, higher is better. This movement is therefore assessed as an improvement.
Historical context
Same-period values: 2019 94.9, 2018 98.6, 2017 81.7. This comparison involves the COVID-19 disruption period (March 2020 – June 2021), when service use and reporting fell sharply.
