in England were in each of the last five years, broken down by social class. [181707]

Ruth Kelly: The information requested falls within the responsibility of the National Statistician, who has been asked to reply.

Letter from John Pullinger to Helen Jones, dated 5 July 2004:

The National Statistician has been asked to reply to your recent question asking what the infant mortality rates in each health authority in England were in each of the last five years, broken down by social class. I am replying in his absence. (181707)

In 2001, Social Class was replaced by the National Statistics Socio-Economic Classification (NS-SEC) in all official statistics.

The table below gives infant mortality rates in each of the Strategic Health Authorities in England for 1998 to 2002 by the National Statistics Social Economic Classification (NS-SEC) based on the father's occupation. The definition of infant mortality is deaths occurring to children under 1 year of age.

In this table, figures for years prior to 2001 are based on standard methods of estimating NS-SEC ¹ for these years. Figures presented are for a three category version of the classification and relate to the boundaries of Strategic Health Authorities as at May 2003.
