Consumer Prices Index: health (division 06): record highs and lows

The extremes of consumer prices index: health (division 06) as published by ONS, across the 463 periods held here (January 1988 to July 2026). Each record is a published figure, not a computed one, and the scope is this series — not “ever”.

The latest figure, 143.9 in July 2026, is the highest in the whole published series of 463 periods. The rule: a period counts as beaten only when its figure is strictly below the latest, and the claim is only made when it reaches back at least five years.

What a record here is, and is not

A record is the extreme of the periods this site holds for the current series, at each period’s newest published release. Earlier series measured under different methods are not compared against it. Money is in cash terms: a record set years ago stands against the money of its own year.
