Names of Front line personnel who have died during COVID-19 pandemic

We said

Thank you for your enquiry.

We hold information relating to the deaths of individuals however unfortunately we will be unable to release this to you.

Section 39 of the Statistics and Registration Service Act 2007 (SRSA) makes it an offence to release personal information. Personal information is any information held by the Board for statistical purposes that would identify an individual or a body corporate. This includes individuals that are deceased. Because disclosure is prohibited by another enactment, s.44 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA) applies.

The General Register Office (www.gro.gov.uk) may be better placed to answer your enquiry. This seems like a laudable project and I'm sorry we are not able to help.
