You asked
Would you please provide data for 2020 to 2025 detailing the number of deaths by departments and type of illness in Countess of Chester Hospital.
We said
Thank you for your request.
NHS England routinely publish statistics on the number of deaths or people dying following hospitalisation in each hospital in England. These data are broken down by specific hospital and broad cause of death.
Our mortality statistics are derived for information provided on the death certificate at the time of registration. Whilst we do hold information on where the death occurred, we have not carried out any analysis or published any data relating to hospital and cause. Please note that we do not hold information on which department of a hospital the death occurred in.
