Did you know we have a dedicated powers and duties tool?
Available to LG Inform Plus subscribers, it provides information on what current legislation gives English and Welsh councils the power to do and what it requires them to do in law. Advanced searching and filtering options make it easy to find specific powers and duties based on legislation, business function and keyword, and results are easily exported in commonly used formats.

- Help text
- Live births with a recorded birth weight under 2500g and a gestational age of at least 37 complete weeks as a percentage of all live births with recorded birth weight and a gestational age of at least 37 complete weeks. Births without a recorded birth weight are excluded.
2005 and 2006: Small numbers (<5) were suppressed and only included in the England total.2007 to 2016 small numbers (<3) are suppressed but have been used throughout all calculations. The counts and denominators for the City of London and Isles of Scilly have been combined with Hackney and Cornwall respectively when less than 3. Where data has been suppressed for a Local Authority, the next lowest LA has also been suppressed. Where disclosure through differentiation would have been possible the higher geographies have also been suppressed.
Data for 2005 have been removed from 1st May 2018 due to it not being of suitable quality for publication. The dataset that was created for 2005 was the first time the linkage of birth registrations, birth notifications and death registrations had taken place. Since then, the method used has been further developed and is now more robust. The figures for 2005 were therefore less accurate than data for the later years and should be treating with caution.
