You asked
I am writing to submit an FOI request for access to age-standardised annual mortality rates at the LSOA level from 2009-2019.
If LSOA level data is not available, then I would like to request the data at the MSOA level. Similarly, if the data is not available from 2009-2019, then I would still like to request access to as many years as is available.
We said
Thank you for your request.
Information on the age standardised mortality rate for LSOAs or MSOAs in England and Wales would need to be created as a custom output. Please note these services are subject to legal frameworks, disclosure control, resources and agreements of costs in line with our charging policy. Please contact Health.Data@ons.gov.uk for more information.
As the requested information is reasonably accessible via another route, even if only on payment, the exemption found under Section 21(2)(a) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA) applies.
