7.8.3.3 Progress Towards Targets
The target relating to children and young people within the local World Class
Commissioning (WCC) Strategy was to reduce the under one year mortality rate per
1,000 live births to that of England. The baseline year was 2006, which as noted above
was probably artificially high compared to the trends in the previous few years. At the
time of setting the target, this was not known and a period of seven years was set to
return to England‟s mortality rates as the rate in Hull for 2006 was 38% higher than
England. Since that time, more recent information on the crude mortality rate for 2007
and 2008 has shown the consistency with previous years. The WCC targets are noted
in Table 83. Following the change in the government in May 2010, new outcomes are
now under consultation (see section 3.3.6.2 on page 52). However, one of the
outcomes is infant mortality, so it is possible that this could be an outcome and targets
would be retained.
