The indicators were last updated in May 2010

This tool has been developed in conjunction with the Information Centre to improve access to the indicators by making data easier to locate and extract. Comparisons can also be made more readily with local areas or with England as a whole.

The main purpose of the local basket of indicators is to help support local action to achieve the Government’s national inequalities targets for life expectancy & infant mortality, by highlighting information relevant to addressing the targets and assisting local areas with monitoring progress towards reducing health inequalities. Local areas can choose which indicators to use and monitor over time based on locally agreed priorities. The most appropriate indicators for tracking local action should be chosen. The indicators in the basket are not mandatory, and local areas will wish to supplement indicators selected from the basket with additional locally available & relevant indicators, including those published in other indicator sets.
