Thank you for your enquiry.
National Records Scotland (NRS) and the Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency (NISRA) are responsible for statistics pertaining to Scotland and Northern Ireland. In collaboration with NRS and NISRA, we have produced the following dataset: Vital statistics in the UK: births, deaths and marriages. This provides historic all-cause mortality statistics up to 2019.
Unfortunately, we do not hold the requested data for 2020 for the whole of the UK. Should you wish to obtain this data for Scotland and Northern Ireland, NRS and NISRA can be contacted at foi@nrscotland.gov.uk and info@nisra.gov.uk respectively. Due to individual publishing timelines, analysis of UK figures for 2020 are expected to be published in our Vital Statistics bulletin in January 2022.
For deaths in 2020 in England and Wales, please see the following dataset: Deaths registered series 2020 dataset. England and Wales all-cause mortality totals for 2020 are available in table 1.
