Addition of data quality note
We have been made aware of a data quality issue affecting the breakdown of pharmacotherapy data for Kirklees LA. Whilst the overall number of people setting a quit date and the number of successful quitters is correct, the breakdown is incorrect. This will also affect the England and Yorkshire and the Humber region data as well for these breakdowns (included in Part 3 and tables 4.4 & 4.5 within the supporting data tables).
