We said
Thank you for your request.
For England and Wales, please see the following link to a previously answered Freedom of Information request which addresses some of your enquiry: Sudden Adult Deaths 2016 to 2021.
2021 data is available as part of our Deaths Registered Series and 21st Century Mortality and NOMIS.
2022 is still data provisional and subject to change, this is to allow the inclusion of late registrations which are deaths which have been referred for Coroner investigation.
We have not completed analysis of 2022 data for these ICD-10 codes. However, this is available as a provisional bespoke data request under our User Requested data service.
Bespoke data requests fall outside of the FOI framework and are available to order from the HALE Customer services team and are subject to disclosure control, legal frameworks, resources and subject to agreement to costs, where applicable. Please contact Health.Data@ons.gov.uk to access this service. Please note, there will be a charge for this work which would be subject to our charging policy. As this information is reasonably accessible via another route, even if only accessible on payment, Section 21(1)(a) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA) applies.
