Suzanne, it is now called 'England & Wales, BMD Index' and it is in the same place where it used to be. Just not on beta test any more! Kate.

Syliva are you taking the * out and putting . in their place???? genes won't let us put web addresses on this site.. so to get round it, we replace the dots with stars.. does that help?

BMD is still there but it is no longer a beta index - the term 'beta index' is used to show that it is a test version, so presumably they think that it is all OK and up and running properly. Christina
