New Official Statistics Website for the UK


The UK Statistics Authority is the body which gathers and publishes statistics on all aspects of society in the UK.

The Statistics Authority is independant of the government, a move designed 'to restore public trust in the quality and integrity of official statistics'

There is a considerable amount of information that can be found on this website, covering health care, demographics, the economy and more.

One very useful section is the Neighbourhood link, in which you can find detailed statistics on different geographical areas. Click the Neighbourhood link, and try putting in your postcode to see what you can find out!

And don't forget about the NHS Information Centre at http://www.ic.nhs.uk/
