You asked

​Please can you tell me the number of hospital and community patients that have died from only COVID-19 and no other existing co-morbidities in England.

Also the numbers for Blackpool from 2020 to 2022 broken down by individual year and also month if possible?

We said

Thank you for your enquiry.

Whilst we have conducted analysis of Coronavirus (COVID-19) deaths including pre-existing conditions, we have not conducted analysis including pre-existing conditions by month, place of occurrence and specific geography.

We can look to produce this as a bespoke request under the Requesting Statistics pathway. Special extracts and tabulations of mortality data are available to order via this route. User requested data sets are subject to disclosure control, legal frameworks, resources, and agreement to costs under the ONS (Office For National Statistics) Charging policy.
