I would like a breakdown of hospital deaths in the UK since 2010 to present if possible?

We said

​Thank you for your request.

We are responsible for the production of mortality data for England and Wales, this is driven by information collected from the death certificate at death registration. National Records Scotland (NRS) and 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 table 12 of the Deaths Registered Series in England and Wales, we publish deaths by place of occurrence including hospitals.  Data is available from 2006 to 2020.

We will publish 2021 data in July 2022, this is to allow the inclusion of late registration deaths which have typically been referred for Coroner investigation.

We also have the following user requested data sets available:

If this does not meet your needs, we can provide a custom output of deaths by place of occurrence using your selected geography such as national or sub national or selected health areas such as Clinical Commissioning group, Welsh Health Board or Sustainability and Transformation Plan (STP) which are the newest NHS Health geography available. Please be made aware that as noted above this will only include England and Wales and not the whole of the UK. We can also distinguish between NHS and private medical establishments within this output. This would be subject to legal frameworks, disclosure control, resources and agreements of costs, where appropriate.

Such enquiries would fall outside of the Freedom of Information regime and can be made to: Health.Data@ons.gov.uk.
