Child Health Profiles provide a snapshot of child health and wellbeing for each local authority in England using key health indicators, which enables comparison locally, regionally and nationally.
By using the profiles local organisations can work in partnership to plan and commission evidence-based services based on local need. The profiles allow you to compare the outcomes in your local population with others in order to identify and learn from better performing areas.

We have updated the Disease Management Information Toolkit (DMIT) with data at clinical commissioning group (CCG) level for 2012/13.
DMIT is designed to help increase the efficiency of services for children with long-term conditions. The toolkit can be used to show performance for asthma, diabetes and epilepsy. It has information at clinical commissioning group (CCG) level on emergency hospital admissions for patients aged under 19 with a primary diagnosis of a particular condition. The toolkit enables CCGs to compare their emergency admission rates, bed-days and lengths of stay with a range of different comparators. It is designed to highlight variations at CCG level and allow benchmarking to inform the commissioning decision-making process for children’s services.
