COVID-19 and the production of statistics. Due to the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) disruption, the quality and coverage of some of our statistics has been affected, for example by an increase in non-submissions for some datasets. For the SATOD collection, there is a noticeable difference in the percentage of mothers who were smokers at the time of delivery in 20/21 from the previous year (from 10.4% to 9.8%). Therefore, data should be interpreted with care over the COVID-19 period. Please see DQ table 1 for details of coverage issues given by submitters for this collection.
