Question
To ask the Scottish Government how many Baby Boxes have been issued each year in the Stirling Council area.
Answer
Registration opened on 15 June 2017, and delivery of Baby Boxes nationwide began on 15 August 2017 for all babies born and resident in Scotland.
We are unable to give the number of Baby Boxes delivered in the Stirling Council area as we only record numbers of Baby Boxes distributed by Health Board. We can provide the number of boxes delivered in Forth Valley Health Board area.
The total number issued in Forth Valley up to 8 January 2021 is 8468 Baby Boxes.
The total breakdown is as follows:
2017(15 August – 31 December) | 1132 Baby Boxes |
2018 | 2525 Baby Boxes |
2019 | 2449 Baby Boxes |
2020 | 2311 Baby Boxes |
2021(up to 8 January) | 51 Baby Boxes |
