The data displays in the Scottish Pregnancy, Births and Neonatal Data (SPBAND) Dashboard have been developed in response to commitment 67 in The Best Start: five year plan for maternity and neonatal care that: ‘national level maternity and neonatal dashboards should be developed to facilitate benchmarking and reduce variations in care’. For the most part the data shown is the same as in the Pregnancy and Births and babies sections of the previously-provided Wider Impacts of COVID dashboard, which is being updated for the last time at the start of Sep 2023 and then retired. The Stillbirths and infant deaths data is now based on data released quarterly by National Records of Scotland. The Location of extremely preterm deliveries now includes babies born at 22 weeks gestation as well as those born at 23-26 weeks inclusive.

Climate change directly and indirectly harms health and wellbeing, widening existing inequalities. Climate action is an opportunity to deliver co-benefits for population health, wellbeing and equity. This document sets out 41 high-level actions across three focus areas that PHS will take from 2023 through to 2026. These actions aim to place population health, wellbeing and equity at the heart of climate action and embed climate action in all PHS’s work to improve and protect population health and reduce inequalities.
