Huddersfield is a town, not a statistical area: these figures are for Kirklees local authority as a whole (which includes Huddersfield, Dewsbury, Batley and surrounding towns). Treat them as the wider-area picture, not street-level results.

Asthma recorded by GPs in Kirklees, and deaths from asthma.

Plain-English context

7.6% of patients aged 6 and over registered at GP practices in Kirklees were on the asthma register in 2024/25. This excludes patients with no asthma-related prescription in the previous 12 months. The age-standardised asthma death rate was 3.4 per 100,000 people per year, averaged across 2022–24. Register prevalence is not age-adjusted. The mortality rate is age-standardised, and rare events carry uncertainty.
