FOI Reference: FOI/2022/3782

You asked

Can I please have the number of hospital deaths per year, since 2010 to present, for Wales?

We said

Thank you for your enquiry.

You can find deaths by area of usual residence, sex‚ and place of occurrence for England and Wales, English Regions, and Welsh Health Boards, 2006 to 2020, in Table 11 of the Deaths Registered Series.

You might also find the following publications useful.

Our latest weekly deaths publication provides numbers of deaths by place of occurrence (home; hospital; hospice; care home; elsewhere) and Welsh Local Health Board.  Figures will need to be totalled for Wales; there is an easy way to do this using the drop down filters. You can find data for 2020 to 2022 here: Death registrations and occurrences by local authority and health board.

Data for 2015 to 2019, in the same format, are available here:

Death registrations and five year average weekly deaths by local authority and place of occurrence, England and Wales: 2015 to 2019.

Figures for earlier years are published in a simpler format and are available here:  Deaths by place of occurrence, England and Wales, 2004 to 2014.
