Child and Maternal Health - This section brings together a range of publicly available data, information, reports, tools and resources on child and maternal health into one easily accessible hub. It helps you find and use the information and evidence you need to improve decision making as part of your planning or commissioning process. The data is regularly updated as new releases become available. 
You can choose to view by life-course stage or view by theme using the sections below. Indicators appear in more than one of the profiles. 
Child and Maternal Health Observatory (ChiMat) - The National Child and Maternal Health Observatory (ChiMat) provides snapshot of child health and well-being for each local council in England using key health indicators, which enables comparison locally, regionally and nationally. Contains information on infant mortality profile and child health profile. You can choose from two profiles: infant mortality profiles for primary care trusts (PCTs) and child health profiles for local authorities. iView ChiMat is a service that allows access to more detailed information on the National Child Measurement Programme (NCMP) and workforce data (which includes includes both the medical and non-medical workforce). It enables users to make selections, view comparisons, create tables, generate graphs and extract child and maternal health data.
