Abstract
We have given an indication of the range of national data which are available on child health. Paediatricians are familiar with simple demographic, mortality, and morbidity statistics, and it is intended tht trends in these should be updated annually. There is, however, a wealth of data on the use of medical social, and financial services which will be reported in future. Professional interest may help to improve the collection and presentation of national data, and we hope that this series will do this as well as providing a source of data for those who do not otherwise have access to it.
