General description

The National Community Child Health Database consists of anonymised records for all children born, resident or treated in Wales and born after 1987. The database combines data from local Community Child Health System databases which are held by local health boards.

Number of children aged 3 recorded on roll at a maintained school in PLASC in January of each year (age as at previous 31 August).

For some local authorities in some years, the number of children recorded on PLASC was greater than the total number of children recorded on NCCHD, resulting in percentage of greater than 100% which has been adjusted to 100%. The local authorities and years affected are:

2013-14: Wrexham
2014-15: Gwynedd, Denbighshire
