You asked

Your extremely useful online dataset 'Death registrations and occurrences by local authority and place of death' was curtailed in week 14 of 2023.

I would like the datasets for 2023 and 2024 for two authorities, Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole (BCP), and Dorset.

We said

Thank you for your request. 

We no longer publish this information in our weekly deaths release, however we do publish monthly figures for death registrations by local area in our Deaths registered monthly in England and Wales dataset

If this does not meet your needs, we can create a custom output. Information on the number of weekly death registrations and occurrences by local authority for 2023 and 2024, along with other special extracts and tabulations of mortality data for England and Wales, are available to order (subject to legal frameworks, disclosure control, resources and agreements of costs, where appropriate).   

Such enquiries should be made to: Health.Data@ons.gov.uk.  

As this information is reasonably accessible through another route, the exemption to the disclose of information under Section 21 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA) applies.
