We said
Thank you for your request.
ONS are responsible for the production of mortality statistics in England and Wales, this is driven by information collected from the death certificate at death registration. ONS primarily receive details around the underlying cause of death and contributing factors. When a death is registered, information around any operations or pending medical treatments are not recorded on the death certificate. Therefore, we do not hold the information you have requested.
