Abstract

I work at the National Perinatal Epidemiology Unit which is a Department of Health and Social Security (DHSS) funded multidisciplinary research unit. We have a strong view that before collecting new data we should use the data which already exist. As a result, both our economist and I make very extensive use of official statistics.
