You asked
Could you please provide the following?
Dataset: Number of people with blood cancer (malignant neoplasms of lymphoid, haematopoietic and related tissue, usually classed as C81 – C96 by ICD-10) who died due to Covid-19? Date range: 01 July 2022 to date (25/07/22) Regions: England and Wales acceptable, but preferably England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland if the data is available to the ONS I understand that this data is usually released quarterly as part of the dataset "Pre-existing conditions of people who died due to COVID-19, England and Wales", however the next release is not until 21 October. I am making this request separately to determine the number of deaths from Covid in people with blood cancer at the earliest possible date.
We said
Thank you for your enquiry.
We have begun working on this data for our next publication which is due for release on 21 October 2022.
However, if you would like to obtain this work sooner, we can look to produce this work for you as a user requested data set. Custom extracts and tabulations of mortality data are available to order from the HALE Customer Services Team. Please note that once extracts have been extracted there may be some elements that cannot be released due to small numbers and disclosure controls. However, we can discuss this with you once the data has been excised. These extracts are subject to disclosure control, legal frameworks, resources and agreement to costs under the ONS Charging policy.
If you would like to discuss further or request a quote for the bespoke data set, please contact Health.data@ons.gov.uk
