The 1990s volume analyzes health outcomes across the UK, its constituent countries, regions, and local areas. It expands beyond mortality to include congenital anomalies, cancer incidence, births, conceptions, and abortions. The Office for National Statistics produced this data as part of its National Statistics series.

Use Cases
