Could you please tell me the monthly deaths by all causes for the past 5 years, beginning the 1st March 2016 to 30th November 2020.
We said
Thank you for your request.
We are responsible for the production of mortality data in England and Wales, this is driven by information collected from the death certificates at death registration. National Records Scotland (NRS) and Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency (NISRA) are responsible for statistics pertaining to Scotland and Northern Ireland. They can be contacted at foi@nrscotland.gov.uk and info@nisra.gov.uk respectively.
We produce Deaths registered monthly in England and Wales, this includes a monthly breakdown of deaths by all causes and area of usual residence. This data is available from 2006 to October 2020 (provisional). Files for the years 2016-2020 can be selected and downloaded to see the requested information.
The next update is scheduled for release on 5 January 2021. Please see the following link to the release calendar, where updates can be monitored: https://www.ons.gov.uk/releases/deathsregisteredbyareainenglandandwalesmonthlyprovisionalnovember2020
