Thank you for your request.
Between 2022 and 2023 there were 5 deaths registered for persons resident in Brighton and Hove local authority, where GHB was mentioned on the death certificate. Figures are for deaths registered, rather than deaths occurring in each calendar year. Due to the length of time it takes to complete a coroner's inquest, it can take months or even years for a drug-related death to be registered. For more information please see our Impact of Registration Delays on Mortality Statistics publication.
We are still in the data collection period for deaths registered in 2024 so we are unable to provide this data until later this year.
For further information, please contact Health.Data@ons.gov.uk
