Important notes and usage information

If you are looking for the latest data on deaths involving the coronavirus (COVID-19) registered in England and Wales, please see our weekly provisional deaths dataset.

Notes

These figures are presented by regions (within England), unitary authorities, counties, health authorities, districts and London boroughs.

Monthly death registrations in the latest dataset are revised each month to provide users with the most accurate data. You can read more about changes in numbers of death registrations in the Measuring the data section of our Weekly deaths bulletin. The dataset for each year is finalised once the annual deaths registrations for that year have been published.

Weekly deaths counts cannot be summed to match the counts for monthly deaths as some weeks may span more than one month.

For information on data quality, legislation and procedures relating to mortality statistics, please see our User guide to mortality statistics.

There is an interactive mapping tool that enables trends in mortality to be analysed at the local level.

For mortality data for other UK countries, please see statistics on deaths in Scotland and statistics on deaths in Northern Ireland.
