Summary
Documentation
This data can be used to identify causes of death. As this data does not originate from the health service, it is not originally CHI seeded. From approx. 2015 onwards, the data was supplied with CHI number, though only covering around 95% of the data. Prior to 2015, and for those records supplied with no CHI an automated mechanism which identifies over 90% of the records is used to CHI seed. This is further augmented by manual data entry.
Due to these procedures, this dataset does not necessarily represent all deceased persons.

Access service description
HIC has implemented a remote-access Trusted Research Environment to protect data confidentiality, satisfy public concerns about data loss and reassure Data Controllers about HIC’s secure management and processing of their data.
Data is not released externally to data users for analysis on their own computers but placed on a server at HIC, within a restricted, secure IT environment, where the data user is given secure remote access to carry out their analysis.
