You asked
Please can you supply registered death rate figures for the month of January in the years 2000 - 2020 please.
We said
Thank you for your request.
Unfortunately, we would be unable to provide you with monthly death rate for January 2000 - 2020.
In order to fulfil this request, we would need to create bespoke analysis, which we are not obligated to do under the Freedom of Information Act 2000. We therefore consider this to be information not held. Bespoke services will be available to order once mortality data for 2020 have been finalised in the Summer of 2021. This is to allow the data to be at its most complete with the inclusion of late registrations, such as deaths referred to Coroner's Inquest. Such services would be subject to legal frameworks, disclosure controls, resources and agreement of costs. If you would like to request this bespoke dataset, please contact health.data@ons.gov.uk to discuss your enquiry further. Please note, there may be a charge for this work which would be subject to our charging policy.
Our Deaths registered monthly in England and Wales will provide monthly deaths from 2006 – 2021.
