The Department does not hold specific data on the most common illnesses, or the incidence of illnesses experienced by babies and children specifically in temporary accommodation. However, general data on hospital admissions for all children, including babies, is published by NHS England in the Hospital Admitted Patient Care Activity reports. These reports provide detailed information on admissions and episodes by primary diagnosis.
