The broadest current picture
Prices, Bank Rate and labour-market evidence answer different parts of the same practical question: how the economy is being felt by households and employers.
Each series keeps its own observation date and publication date. No single combined score is calculated.
Cost of living and work
Prices, rates and jobs
What this helps answer
Are prices, borrowing costs and the labour market easing or tightening?
Why it matters
These measures shape household budgets, mortgage costs, pay pressure and the wider economic outlook.
Source type: Official statistics and Bank of England data

Economy and public finances
Growth and the public balance sheet, kept separate from the broader cost-of-living view.
Growth
GDP
What this helps answer
Is the economy growing, shrinking or broadly standing still?
Why it matters
Growth affects tax receipts, business confidence, employment and the room government has to make choices.
Source type: Official national accounts
See the latest change and source
Public finances
National debt
What this helps answer
How much does the public sector owe, and how current is the figure?
Why it matters
Debt and its publication context matter for fiscal choices, interest costs and claims about the public finances.
Source type: Official monthly public-finance figures
See the latest change and source
Society
Comparable official evidence on planned NHS care and long-term migration.
Public services
NHS waiting times
What this helps answer
How many referral-to-treatment pathways are waiting, and for how long?
Why it matters
Waiting-time evidence shows pressure on planned care without mixing incompatible NHS measures.
Source type: NHS England monthly RTT data
See the latest change and source
Population
Migration
What this helps answer
What are the latest estimates for immigration, emigration and net migration?
Why it matters
The figures inform debate about population change, labour supply and demand for homes and services.
Source type: Official long-term migration estimates
See the latest change and source
Politics
A recent primary poll publication with its method, fieldwork and limitations.

Primary polling evidence
Election polling
Verified pollster publications, shown individually without a synthetic average.
Current primary polling evidence unavailable
public-data.org does not have a complete verified primary poll publication inside its 14-day evidence window. It will not fall back to a secondary aggregation or an old embedded average.
Commercial market signal
Betting markets
Three named Oddschecker markets with raw reciprocal prices.
Current betting market snapshot unavailable
public-data.org does not have a complete verified snapshot inside its four-hour evidence window. It will not display stale or embedded political betting prices.

Official monthly data
National debt
UK public sector net debt from the latest published observation.
Debt observation unavailable
public-data.org could not verify a current dated ONS debt observation with matching publication and source metadata, so no embedded estimate is shown.
Official monthly data
GDP
The latest ONS monthly and three-month GDP movements.
Current GDP estimate unavailable
public-data.org could not verify one complete current ONS monthly GDP release, so it is not showing an older snapshot or forecast.
Forecast and comparison tables withdrawn
The previous panel mixed ONS observations with an OBR forecast, IMF G7 estimates and structural sector values using different periods and bases. They remain unavailable until each can be reproduced from a named source and matching period.
Series-level official data
Key indicators
Three official series, each with its own observation and publication date.
Current economic indicators unavailable
public-data.org could not verify all three official series with their own periods and provenance, so it is not showing the old embedded values or carrying one series across another series' timeline.
Official monthly data
Government receipts
Central government receipts from the latest ONS release.
Current receipts estimate unavailable
public-data.org could not verify one complete current ONS public-finance release, so it is not showing the older annual estimate or a forecast.
Tax breakdown and burden forecast withdrawn
The previous page mixed a financial-year total, category estimates, a tax-to-GDP series, an average-per-person calculation and an OBR forecast. They remain unavailable until the period, accounting basis and source for each measure can be verified.
Official labour-market data
Employment
Employment, unemployment, economic inactivity and vacancies.
Current labour-market release unavailable
public-data.org could not verify one complete current ONS release, so it is not showing the older embedded rates or workforce estimates.
Workforce breakdowns withdrawn
The previous page mixed Labour Force Survey rates with public/private employment totals, public-sector categories and a hand-built annual trend. Those series remain unavailable until each has a named source and matching period.

Society
NHS waiting times, migration and other major public-service measures.

Official NHS England data
NHS waiting times
Referral-to-treatment figures from the latest monthly publication.
Current NHS RTT evidence unavailable
public-data.org could not verify a complete current NHS England referral-to-treatment publication. It will not show an older waiting-list snapshot or unrelated embedded health measures as current.
Unaligned health measures withdrawn
A&E performance, GP waiting time, NHS workforce and life expectancy came from different publications, periods and geographies. They remain unavailable until each has a verified primary source and visible observation date.
Official ONS estimate
Migration
Long-term immigration, emigration and net migration.
Migration estimate unavailable
public-data.org could not verify one complete, reconciled current ONS migration release, so no embedded or older headline estimate is shown.
Visa and nationality tables withdrawn
The previous page mixed Home Office visa grants with ONS long-term migration estimates and labelled nationality counts as net migration without aligning their definitions, periods and denominators. Those tables remain unavailable until each measure can be reproduced separately.

Early Years
Child vaccination and development indicators in England.
National Data Library Spotlight
England child MMR vaccination rate fell to 89.2% in 2024/25
The percentage of children receiving their first dose of the MMR vaccine by age two remains below the World Health Organisation target of 95.0%. School readiness at the end of reception was last observed at 67.2% in 2023/24.
Key indicators
MMR vaccine coverage and school readiness outturns

MMR 1st dose vaccination rate history
The percentage of children immunized by age two in England. A standard WHO reference target is shown at 95%.
2018/19 to 2024/25

| 2018/19 | 91.2% (historical) |
| 2019/20 | 90.6% (historical) |

Why it matters
Early years development is a primary driver of long-term social mobility, health outcomes, and educational attainment. Child immunisation and school readiness scores provide critical checks on the status of child health and development support.
Explain this number
Definition
MMR vaccine coverage represents the percentage of children receiving their first dose by age two, published by NHS England. School readiness measures the proportion of children achieving a "Good Level of Development" (GLD) on the Early Years Foundation Stage Profile (EYFSP), published by the Department for Education.
Unit and geography
Percentage of child population cohort · England
How to interpret it
A high vaccine rate (95%) ensures herd immunity against measles outbreaks. The GLD index reflects child performance across communication, physical development, and personal/social/emotional skills at reception end.
Important caveat
EYFSP profiles were cancelled during the COVID-19 pandemic (2019/20 and 2020/21 academic years), resulting in missing data points. A new baseline assessment model was introduced in 2021/22, meaning GLD rates before and after this period are not directly comparable.
