Thanks for doing the deep dive in to the numbers. As you rightly point out the 'devil is often found in the footnotes'.

You may want to consider contacting UKHSA with your findings. In my experience, they have generally responded positively and have even updated subsequent reports based on my feedback. Your input could assist them in enhancing their communication.

In some ways I am surprised given covid and prior downgrading of public health we still have a functioning Public Health community and a sufficiently reactive lab testing system. (NHS testing has been under severe pressure we are told.) Can I imagine kit being pulled out of the cupboard and admin protocols fished from files?

And measles is really dangerous to the youngest - serious stuff.
