We said

​Thank you for your enquiry. 

We hold the following analysis, which provides death registrations and occurrences (date of death) by local authority and place of occurrence from 2020 to 2023: Death registrations and occurrences by local authority and health board. This publication is updated every Tuesday. By using the pivot table, you can filter on all cause deaths and deaths involving COVID-19 by local authority and place of occurrence.   

Please note, this dataset uses provisional data, which is subject to change with the inclusion of late registrations. 

In our Deaths registered in England and Wales series, table 12 provides the number and percentage of deaths by area of usual residence and place of occurrence in England and Wales on an annual basis. Tables 11a and 11b provides deaths by place of occurrence by sex and selectedICD-10 cause code

We also hold a selection of bespoke datasets for your information:Rolling Annual death registrations in England by place of occurrence will provide a selection of annual and quarterly datasets providing death registrations by place of occurrence in England. 

We also hold specific requests for Wales in 2016 and 2017
