You asked

Please could you provide me with analysis of:

  • numbers of all deaths by primary cause by year from 2010 to 2020
  • numbers of deaths by mentioned contributing factor from 2010 to 2020

Please analyse the above further in terms of whether the deaths occurred in care homes, hospital, at home or elsewhere.

If you are able to do this using the ICD-11 framework that would be much appreciated, otherwise ICD-10 will be fine.

Thank you for your enquiry.

In order to provide you with number of deaths by underlying cause of death and contributory cause of death by place of occurrence for 2010 -- 2020, we would need to create bespoke analysis. 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, we may be able to create this with data up to 2019 as a custom output. Information on selected causes of death by ICD-10 code including place of occurrence along with other special extracts and tabulations of mortality data for England and Wales are available to order (subject to legal frameworks, disclosure control, resources and agreements of costs, where appropriate). Such enquiries would fall outside of the Freedom of Information regime and should be made to: Health.Data@ons.gov.uk. 2020 data will be available to order as bespoke analysis once the data have been finalised in the summer of 2021. This delay in finalising the data is to allow for the inclusion of late registrations, such as deaths referred to Coroner's Inquest.

You may be interested in the following analysis we have available related your request.

Please see our NOMIS website. Using this service, you can download deaths for 2013-2019 by underlying cause of death by selected geography using ICD-10 framework. Unfortunately, this will not show deaths by place of occurrence.

Please see the following instructions for using this service:

  • 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).
  • Select format (Excel or CSV for example)

You may also be interested in our Deaths Registered Series publications, as they provide an annual breakdown of selected causes and leading causes. Data is available from 2012 to 2019. Please see the following datasets accompanying this series:

Deaths registered in England and Wales -- 21st Century mortality: Annual data on the number of deaths registered in England and Wales by age group, sex, year and underlying cause of death, as defined using the International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision.

Deaths registered series (dataset): Annual data on deaths registered by age, sex and selected underlying cause of death. Tables also provide both mortality rates and numbers of deaths over time.
