Please could I have the full underlying data set for this report
I understand that a dataset is linked but I am looking for an unsynthesised version that details the deaths, the date of death and the occupation.

Thank you for your request.
We are responsible for the provision of mortality statistics for England and Wales. National Records Scotland (NRS) and the 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.
In the response to the pandemic ONS have produced Coronavirus (COVID-19) related deaths by occupation, England and Wales: deaths registered between 9 March and 28 December 2020, this publication provides an insight into deaths involving COVID-19 by different occupational groups.
Unfortunately, we have not produced this data down into smaller time series. 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. 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.
