You asked

​I would like to make a FOI request for information around Covid-19 deaths.

My questions are:

  1. All the Covid-19 UK deaths to date, how many of them had a gold standard framework in place for reasons other than Covid-19?

  2. All the Covid-19 UK deaths to date, how many of them had a statement of intent in place for reasons other than Covid-19?

  3. All the Covid-19 UK deaths to date, how many of them had a DNR (Do not resuscitate) in place for reasons other than Covid-19?

We said

​Thank you for your enquiry.

Our mortality data is taken from the death certificate. Information on the GP Gold Standard Framework, NHS Statement of intent or DNR orders are not recorded at the point of death registration. Therefore, we do not hold the information requested.

NHS Digital may be better placed to answer your enquiry. They can be contacted via email at enquiries@nhsdigital.nhs.uk.
