These include the linkage of Hospital Episodes Statistics (HES) for England to the National Child Development Survey (NCDS), the British Cohort Study (BCS70) and Next Steps, and the linkage of Scottish Medical Records (SMR) to the Millennium Cohort Study (MCS). The linkage of SMR to the NCDS and BCS70 will be available shortly.
