Inclusion of missing CQIM measure
When this publication was first released, due to a technical error the data for CQIMBreastfeeding was not included in the Measures csv file. This has been corrected and a new version of the Measures file containing the CQIMBreastfeeding data has been uploaded on 19/08/2022. The missing data has been available on the National Maternity Dashboard in the meantime, as normal.
