Thank you for your request.
We are responsible for the production of mortality data for England and Wales, driven by information collected from the death certificate at death registration. National Records Scotland (NRS) and Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency (NISRA) are responsible for statistics pertaining to Scotland and Northern Ireland.
In collaboration with these organisations, we publish headline data for the UK in our Vital statistics in the UK: births, deaths and marriages - Office for National Statistics (ons.gov.uk) publication. This is published at the end of each year with data supplied by NISRA and NRS. The latest UK data available is 2021, with data for 2022 due to be released in January 2024.
Finalised mortality information in England and Wales for 2021 is accessible in the following publication: Deaths Registered Series. Please see table 5 which provides annual counts for 2000-2021 by single year of age.
Provisional death counts in 2022 and 2023 is accessible in table 2 of the Deaths registered weekly in England and Wales, provisional for all cause deaths by five-year age group.
