Summary

Documentation

These datasets include all deaths registered in England and Wales for the time periods specified. Data are supplied to ONS by the Local Registration Service, in partnership with the General Register Office (GRO). Coding for cause of death is carried out according to the World Health Organization (WHO) International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10) and internationally agreed rules, allowing for international comparisons.

Deaths registered in England and Wales to those usually resident outside of England and Wales are included. Deaths registered outside of England and Wales to those usually resident in England and Wales are excluded.

This dataset was created to provide timely statistics needed for COVID-19 analysis. Therefore, the provisional death registration data is only to be used only for COVID-19 accredited projects.  The data are provisional, and cover the period 2020-2021.
