You asked
I have found on your website the data for number of deaths in England & Wales from 1993 to date.
Could you supply the monthly data for number of deaths for the years 1980 to 1992 for England & Wales please?
We said
Thank you for your enquiry.
In order to fulfil your request for monthly deaths for 1980 to 1992, we would need to create a bespoke analysis or table. Under the Freedom of Information Act 2000, Public Authorities are not obligated to create information in order to respond to requests. We therefore consider this to be information not held.
However, the information you have requested may be available to commission as bespoke analysis. Such services would be subject to legal frameworks, disclosure controls, resources and agreement of costs. If you would like to request this bespoke dataset, please contacthealth.data@ons.gov.uk to discuss your enquiry further. Please note, there may be a charge for this work which would be subject to our charging policy.
