Thank you for your enquiry,

The information you have requested is part of our explorable dataset available on our NOMIS webservice from 2013 to 2021.

• Select the geography (England and Wales, regional or by local authority)

• Select Age -- All ages or 5-year age bands

• Select Gender -- Total or Male/Female  

• Select rates -- All deaths, rates or percentage of population for example

• Select cause of death (ICD10 code search is available or select R96, I46.9 and I46.1

• Select format (Excel or CSV for example)

I have attached an extract from NOMIS showing the three ICD-10 codes for the following geographies:

• Total Mortality -- England and Wales including non-residents

• England and Wales

• England

• Wales

• Non-Residents in England and Wales

For more historic data, this is published as part of our 21st century mortality, which contains all-cause mortality data by ICD code, age and sex, 2001-2021, England and Wales. You can filter on 'column A' for each year and filter on ICD-10 R96, I49.9 and I46.1.

We have not conducted analysis of 2022 provisional data; this will be completed in July 2023 to allow the inclusion of late registrations which are deaths referred to the Coroner for further investigation.

If you would like to request a bespoke data output using provisional data, the HAPI Customer Services team can provide a quote for this work. These outputs are subject to disclosure control, legal frameworks, resources and agreement to costs under the ONS Charging policy.
