(1) Age refers to age at the time of the birth. (2) Data for Northern Ireland exclude births to mothers not usually resident in Northern Ireland at the time of birth. Similarly, data for England and Wales exclude births to mothers not usually resident in England and Wales. Data for Scotland include births to mothers not usually resident in Scotland. For this reason the number of births shown here will not exactly sum to total UK births at ages 13 to 19. (3) Births registered in Northern Ireland have been allocated to Health and Social Services Boards according to the usual residence of the mother. Births registered in England and Wales are assigned to England or Wales according to usual residence of the mother. (4) For Northern Ireland and Scotland, figures relate to the number of live births registered in each calendar year. For England and .Wales, figures relate to the number of live births occurring in each calendar year.
