Amongst the richest population data in the world.

The richness of SAIL Databank enables important questions to be comprehensively answered. We hold a wealth of population-scaled data, some of which reaches back a quarter of a century or more. We can also improve outcomes further by linking new datasets to our existing, routinely-collected data.
