Public Health England's Local Health tool updated

PHE’s Local Health tool was updated on 12 October.

Local Health presents data for small areas (middle super output areas and electoral wards), with data also provided for clinical commissioning groups (CCGs), local authorities, and England as a whole.

In this new release, 50 indicators in total have been updated across the four Local Health themes (‘Our community’, ‘Behavioural risk factors and child health’, ‘Disease and poor health’, ‘Life expectancy and causes of death’).

In addition, new functionality within the tool allows data to be downloaded in bulk for the first time.
