Thank you for your enquiry.
Unfortunately, we would be unable to provide you with anonymised data collected from death certificates for all COVID-19 deaths. In order to fulfil this request, we would need use a statistical skill and judgement in order to create a bespoke analysis for you. 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.
