What information will we add?
We would like to add information from health records about you and your child until they are 14 held by the following organisations to your survey information.
• NHS England
• Digital Health and Care Wales
• Public Health Scotland
• NHS National Services Scotland
• Health and Social Care (HSC) in Northern Ireland
These health records include information such as admissions or attendances in hospital (including maternity records), visits to a GP or other health professional (e.g. midwife), mortality data, cause of death, specific conditions and prescriptions given.
Why add this information?
Adding this extra information will mean more detailed research can be done on things like:
- Which factors are linked to particular illnesses
- How some illnesses impact children’s wellbeing and how they get on in school
