OneGeology is an international collaborative project in the field of geology supported by 113 countries, UNESCO and major global geoscience bodies. It aims to enable online access to dynamic digital geological map of the world for everyone. An EU Joint Research Centre project is using OneGeology geological data as a framework for the production of a Geogenic Radon Map of Europe. The BGS-HPA UK Onegeology Radon Potential dataset provides, within a 1:625,000 scale geological framework, a general indication of how the estimated arithmetic mean ground-floor radon concentration varies within the United Kingdom. The indoor radon data is used with the agreement of the Health Protection Agency (HPA). Mapping of radon-prone areas at the OneGeology 1:625 000 scale can be used to inform European policy makers, politicians and the general public about the general variation of radon potential within the United Kingdom at the European scale. The dataset should not be used at scales larger than 1:250,000 or for regulatory (i.e. Building Control or Radon Affected Area) purposes in the UK.

Compendium of public health outcomes indicators presented at England and upper tier LA level. Indicators are split over 4 domains: improving the wider determinants of health; health improvement; health protection; healthcare, public health and preventing premature mortality. The Department of Health was previously responsible for the publication of the Public Health Outcomes Framework.

The information in this bulletin, about immunisation statistics in England, comes from: 1. The Health Protection Agency (HPA) and Health Protection Services (HPS) - for information on childhood immunisation coverage at ages 1, 2 and 5. It is collected through the Cover of Vaccination Evaluated Rapidly (COVER) data collection for PCTs. 2. The Health and Social Care Information Centre (HSCIC) - for information about the BCG programme and reinforcing doses of diphtheria, tetanus and polio on the KC50 return from known providers of immunisation services. 3. The Department of Health - for information on persons aged 65 and over immunised against seasonal flu for all PCTs (in conjunction with Health Protection Agency). March 2013:Following investigation of KC50 data submitted by some Trusts from 2008-09 through to 2010-11, the HSCIC is recommending that Td/IPV and BCG data reported in tables 6, 7, 13 and 13a of this publication should be treated with some caution. See Errata note above for more information.

The Office for Health Improvement and Disparities (OHID) has published the Public Health Outcomes Framework (PHOF) quarterly data update for May 2022.

The data is presented in an interactive tool that allows users to view it in a user-friendly format. The data tool also provides links to further supporting information, to aid understanding of public health in a local population.

18 indicators have been updated in this release:

• healthy life expectancy and disability-free life expectancy at birth and at 65
• 7 indicators from the health improvement domain including conception rates in teenagers, percentage of looked after children whose emotional wellbeing is a cause for concern, and percentage of physically active adults
• 4 indicators from the health protection domain including the fraction of mortality attributable to particulate air pollution (new method), population vaccination coverage for human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination coverage for two doses (females 13 to 14 years old) and population vaccination coverage - Meningococcal ACWY conjugate vaccine (MenACWY) (14 to 15 years)
• 5 indicators from the healthcare and premature mortality domain including emergency readmissions within 30 days of discharge from hospital and preventable sight loss

See links to indicators updated document for full details of what’s in this update.

The joint PHE-BGS digital radon potential dataset provides the current definitive map of radon Affected Areas in England and Wales. It will also allow an estimate to be made of the probability that an individual property in England and Wales is at or above the Action Level for radon. This information also provides an answer to one of the standard legal enquiries on house purchase in England and Wales, known as CON29 standard Enquiry of Local Authority; 3.13 Radon Gas: Location of the Property in a Radon Affected Area. The radon potential dataset will also provide information on the level of protection required for new buildings under as described in the latest Building Research Establishment guidance on radon protective measures for new buildings (BR 211 2007). This radon potential hazard information for England and Wales is based on Public Health England (PHE) indoor radon measurements and BGS digital geology information. This product was derived from DigMap50 V3.14 and PHE in-house radon measurement data. The indoor radon data is used with the agreement of the PHE. Confidentiality of measurement locations is maintained through data management practices. Access to the data is restricted. This dataset has been superseded by PHE-BGS Joint Radon Potential Dataset For Great Britain. Radon is a natural radioactive gas, which enters buildings from the ground. Exposure to high concentrations increases the risk of lung cancer. The Health Protection Agency recommends that radon levels should be reduced in homes where the annual average is at or above 200 becquerels per cubic metre (200 Bq m-3). This is termed the Action Level. The Health Protection Agency defines radon Affected Areas as those with 1% chance or more of a house having a radon concentration at or above the Action Level of 200 Bq m-3. The dataset was originally developed by BGS with the Health Protection Agency (HPA) which is now part of Public Health England.

The information in this bulletin, about immunisation statistics in England, comes from: The Health Protection Agency (HPA) Centre for Infections (CfI) for information on childhood immunisation uptake at ages 1, 2 and 5 collected through the Cover of Vaccination Evaluated Rapidly (COVER) data collection for PCTs The NHS Information Centre (The NHS IC) for information about the BCG programme and reinforcing doses on the KC50 return from known providers of immunisation services. The Department of Health for: the new HPV vaccination programme for teenage girls persons aged 65 and over immunised against influenza for all PCTs (in conjunction with Health Protection Agency) Subsequent to publishing this report on 3 September 2009, a number of changes were identified as being needed. These are detailed in the Errata note document above. March 2013: Following investigation of KC50 data submitted by some Trusts from 2008-09 through to 2010-11, the HSCIC is recommending that Td/IPV and BCG data reported in tables 5, 6, 12 and 12a of this publication should be treated with some caution.
