• Rates are worked out from the number of infant deaths and live births in each area over three years, by where the mother lives.
• Most local authorities have fewer than 30 infant deaths over three years, so rates can differ a lot between neighbouring areas, or from one period to the next, by chance. Small differences between areas shouldn't be over-interpreted.
• The figure for Cornwall includes the Isles of Scilly.
