I was wondering if it was possible to have total daily mortality data for 2003 (during the 2003 heat wave July-August)? Also, daily mortality data for 2000-2002 and 2004 for May-September (or the whole year). Is it possible to separate the deaths for different age groups?
Is it also possible to have daily statistics on total daily hospital admissions for the UK for these dates too? Possibly separated for age and diagnosis (e.g. heat stroke, dehydration…)?
