Community Services Data Set and healthy child programme: data quality review, 2015 to 2025 This review is a summary of analysis of the completeness of the CSDS for children aged 0 to 4 years. Applies to England Documents Details This review is a summary of analysis of how complete the Community Services Data Set (CSDS) is for children aged 0 to 4 years. The analysis covers the financial year 2015 to 2016 to financial year 2024 to 2025 and includes analysis of the CSDS predecessor Children and Young People’s Health Services Data Set (CYPHS) for the earlier years. NHS England replaced CYPHS with CSDS in October 2017. The counts of children in the CSDS data were compared with either the Office for National Statistics (ONS) mid-year estimates of population, or the ONS count of live births at ages: - 30 days (one month) - 56 days (8 weeks) - 457 days (15 months) - 914 days (2 and a half years) The recording of breastfeeding status in infants aged 56 days, and Ages and Stages Questionnaires Third Edition (ASQ-3) assessments in children aged 914 days was also analysed. In addition, analysis of the counts of children’s sex and ethnicity is included. The purpose of this analysis is to determine the completeness of the CSDS data set and therefore its robustness for producing indicators of public health outcomes from the healthy child programme (HCP).
