You asked

I would like to know why this data stops at 2018? I request the data for 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, and the latest for 2022.

Thank you for your enquiry.

The link you have provided in your request refers to a previously answered FOI request, answered and published on 11 January 2021.  The information contained in this FOI response stops at 2018, as this was the UK data that was available in our Vital Statistics publication on the date that linked FOI request was submitted. Below the tables in this previous response, we also provided the mortality data we held at that time for England and Wales for 2019 and 2020.

The following link to a recently published FOI response will provide the information you have requested: https://www.ons.gov.uk/aboutus/transparencyandgovernance/freedomofinformationfoi/ukallcausemortalitystatisticsfor201920202021and2022
