You asked
Can you please provide weekly deaths by region, sex, age group, and location spreadsheets for the years 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022.
We said
Thank you for your request.
Figures for deaths registered weekly in 2022 and 2023 by place of occurrence can be found on our website. Table 13 of our Deaths Registered Weekly in England and Wales gives a breakdown by week of registration and place of occurrence only.
Prior to 2024, we have not produced analysis showing figures by region, sex, age group and place of occurrence and prior to 2022 we have only produced figure of deaths registered weekly by place of occurrence for death involving COVID-19.
The requested information would therefore need to be created as a custom output. Information on the number of deaths registered weekly by region, sex, age group and place of occurrence along with other special extracts and tabulations of mortality data for England and Wales are available to order. 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.
