What happened
- July 2020
- 11.8
- 3-year median
- 15.0
- Change
- −3.2
- Change, per cent
- −21%
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 still-birth ratio, lower is better. This movement is therefore assessed as an improvement.
Historical context
Same-period values: 2019 12.9, 2018 15.0, 2017 15.3. This comparison involves the COVID-19 disruption period (March 2020 – June 2021), when service use and reporting fell sharply.
