In order to disagreggate this data further by age or sex, we would need to create bespoke analysis, which we are not obligated to do under the Freedom of Information Act 2000. Moreover, even if we were to disaggregate data down to this geography level to include such variables as sex and age, this would produce very low numbers, making it entirely possible to identify individual records. Therefore, we would be unable to release this to you as this data would be disclosive. This is in line with our disclosure control policy: Policy on protecting confidentiality in tables of birth and death statistics.

If you would like to discuss these statistics further, please contact Health.Data@ons.gov.uk.
