You asked
Please can I request data for what percentage of cardiac arrests in England and Wales were attributed to being primarily caused by hypothermia in the years 2022 and if available 2023?
We said
Thank you for your request.
We have not produced any data or analysis on the percentage of cardiac arrests that were attributed to hypothermia.
The requested information would therefore need to be created as a custom output. Information on the percentage of cardiac arrests where hypothermia was mentioned on the deaths certificate along with other special extracts and tabulations of mortality data for England and Wales may be 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 available via an alternative route, even if only on payment, the exemption found under Section 21(2)(a) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA) applies.
