Although the gap between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal neonatal deaths may have been closing a little there was some increase in that gap for 2009. The aggregate over the four years indicates just over twice as many neonatal deaths for the Aboriginal population when compared to the non-Aboriginal population, but the rate ratio is much higher.
