National Survey of United Kingdom Paediatric Allergy Services The survey was completed in two stages. In the first stage, the contact details of all 450 hospitals in the UK were found from online searches. Each hospital was contacted to establish whether the hospital provides a paediatric allergy service. If a paediatric allergy service is provided, the respondent was asked for the contact details of the person best placed to answer more detailed questions about the service. The 450 hospitals are part of 173 trusts. All 450 hospitals responded and 229 reported providing a paediatric allergy service. Some trusts provide paediatric allergy services in more than one hospital. The lead hospital was identified, resulting in 154 hospitals where the paediatric allergy service is principally provided (lead service) and 75 other hospitals where the service provided is linked to the provision in a lead hospital service (linked service). A detailed questionnaire was then sent to the lead hospitals. A copy of the questionnaire is included with the data. All 154 lead services seeing paediatric allergy patients nationally completed the survey between February 2019 and May 2020. The two last respondents completed their surveys after the start of the Covid-19 pandemic and were asked to record the configuration of their service prior to any impact of the pandemic. Respondents were asked if they provide a secondary or tertiary allergy service or both. The terms were not further defined and interpretation was entirely at the discretion of the respondent. Responses were: 126 (82%) secondary only and 3 (2%) tertiary only and 25 (16%) secondary and tertiary level paediatric allergy care. For subsequent analyses, tertiary only and secondary and tertiary respondents were combined. Seventy one (46%) were providing paediatric allergy services in one or more other hospitals. The survey results were published in Clinical & Experimental Allergy and are available at https://doi.org/10.1111/cea.14198 Maps of UK paediatric allergy service provision Based on the questionnaire response data we have produced three interactive online maps showing the configuration, investigations and treatments undertaken by the 154 hospitals seeing paediatric allergy patients.

This dataset contains a sample of 10,000 (3.5%) out of a total of 285,846 text sequences extracted from the 1891–1896 Map of London by the Ordnance Survey (OS).

The methodology used for the automated recognition, linking, and sequencing of the text is detailed in the article Recognizing and Sequencing Multi-word Texts in Maps Using an Attentive Pointer by M. Zou et al., 2025.

Description of the content

The map is drawn at a scale of five-feet to the mile (c.a. 1:1,056). The text on the map is an invaluable source of information about the Greater London in the late Victorian period. It includes the names of streets, squares, parks, watercourses and even some estates ('Poplars', 'The Grange', 'Arbutus Lodge'). In addition, the map contains many details of the function of buildings and economic activity, such as factories ('Sweet Factory', 'Crown Linoleum Works', 'Imperial Flour Mills', 'Lion Brewery'), warehouses or commercial infrastructure ('Warehouse', 'Jamaica Wharf', 'Rag Store'), offices ('Offices'), etc. The map also mentions public buildings such as schools ('School Boys, Girls & Infants', 'Sunday School'), hospitals or clinics ('St. Saviour's Union Infirmary', 'Beulah Spa Hydropathic Establishment', 'South Western Fever Hospital'), railway stations ('Clapham Station'), post offices, banks, police stations, etc. Other social venues are also mentioned, such as public houses, i.e. pubs ('P.H.'), clubs, casinos, and recreational areas (e.g. 'Cricket Ground'). Special attention is given to churches, with a regular count of the number of seats (e.g. 'Baptist Chapel Seats for 600').

In addition, the map provides details that can be of great interest in the study of everyday life in London at the end of the 19th century. For example, there are numerous mentions of 'Stables', 'Drinking Fountain'[s] (or simply 'Fn.') or 'Urinal'[s]. Fire protection infrastructure is highlighted, e.g. fire plugs ('F.P.') and fire alarms ('F.A.'). The map also includes information on elevation (e.g. '11·6') and flood levels (e.g. 'High Water Mark of Ordinary Tides').

A list of abbreviations used in the Ordnance Survey maps, created by Richard Oliver [1], is made available by the National Library of Scotland (link).

The objective of the Innovation Scorecard is to support appropriate access to NICE approved products (medicines, devices and diagnostics), by giving Health and Care commissioners and professionals information they can use to identify and act on unwarranted variation in patient access to these treatments. The Scorecard does this by transparently providing access to data, which can be used alongside a range of other data sources (including patient population outcomes) to measure progress in access to NICE approved products within local areas or at a national level. It is not intended to be used for performance management. The Innovation Health and Wealth Strategy set out plans to support development and adoption of innovation in the NHS. The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) technology appraisal process assesses the clinical and cost effectiveness of new and existing medicines and treatments, and provides guidance on their use by the NHS. There is no central collection of data which can directly support the assessment of uptake of NICE recommendations, nor is data on the number of patients treated available. Therefore this is an experimental publication, which makes use of data currently available from a range of sources, both from the NHS and the commercial sector. The HSCIC welcomes comments and suggestions from users to support future development of appropriate datasets and reporting. The first Innovation Scorecard was published in January 2013, using data from 2011. The second publication in September 2013 reported data for 2012. The Innovation Scorecard has since been published on a quarterly basis, showing data for additional quarters since October 2013. It has also developed over this time to include new treatments recommended by NICE and by enhancements to the format and presentation. The inclusion criteria for medicines have been updated in this publication. Medicines with a TA published from 2011 onwards, which is positively appraised by NICE have been included. All other inclusion criteria remain unchanged. Medicines with a TA between January 2008 and December 2010 are available in earlier publications of the innovation scorecard. In this publication the medicines and medical technologies are presented in separate interactive spreadsheets. These spreadsheets use macros to allow users to identify the organisations, interventions and time periods they wish to explore. The data is also presented in tables, charts and maps to identify trends and variation. A 'How to...' tab on the interactive spreadsheets explains how to use them. An accompanying report describes the data, the sources and its limitations. Please note that the interactive spreadsheets should be viewed in conjunction with the report, and the caveats to interpretation should be noted. In addition, an estimates report looks at the use of a range of appraised medicines in relation to the number of eligible patients as estimated by NICE. Additional information is available in an FAQ format. Due to the experimental status of the publication and the provisional nature of some of the data from operational processes, some figures may be revised from publication to publication as issues are uncovered and resolved. The experimental status allows for this to occur if it is determined that a refresh of data is required subsequent to initial release. Where a refresh of data occurs, it will be clearly documented in the publications. Users should always use the figures in the latest publication to ensure they are the most up to date figures available. Please note, figures for Debrisoft monofilament debridement pad (MTG17) per 100,000 population have been revised in the October 2015 publication. Previously published figures are incorrect. Due to concerns over the quality of some of the underlying data received by the HSCIC, the data for Alemtuzumab and Rituximab has been suppressed for Quarter 4 2014/15. The HSCIC are in discussion with the data supplier to resolve these issues and data will be included in future publications. Note that due to the size of the spreadsheets, they may take a few moments to open. NHS England has released additional maps. See the link provided below.

The 'Climate Just' Map Tool shows the geography of England’s vulnerability to climate change at a neighbourhood scale.

The Climate Just Map Tool shows which places may be most disadvantaged through climate impacts. It aims to raise awareness about how social vulnerability combined with exposure to hazards, like flooding and heat, may lead to uneven impacts in different neighbourhoods, causing climate disadvantage.

Climate Just Map Tool includes maps on:

• Flooding (river/coastal and surface water)
• Heat
• Fuel poverty.

The flood and heat analysis for England is based on an assessment of social vulnerability in 2011 carried out by the University of Manchester. This has been combined with national datasets on exposure to flooding, using Environment Agency data, and exposure to heat, using UKCP09 data.

Data is available at Middle Super Output Area (MSOA) level across England. Summaries of numbers of MSOAs are shown in the file named Climate Just-LA_summaries_vulnerability_disadvantage_Dec2014.xls

Indicators include:
