The Public Health Outcomes Framework indicator (PHOF) - D01 is updated annually by the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA). The UKHSA and the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities will be updating and publishing the PHOF-D01 for 2020 values in 2022, which will be based on the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs' Automatic Urban and Rural Network data.
