You asked
In ONS published weekly death reports, there is information on deaths (from all causes) by place of occurrence – such as in hospital, at home etc.
This information is shown as year-to-date totals; can you please provide a breakdown by week, from Week 1, 2020?
We said
Thank you for your request.
The information you have requested is available in published weekly deaths tables by local authority:
In the tables labelled 'Registrations – Pivot table' and 'Occurrences – Pivot table', you can see how the mortality figures vary week on week, using the drop-down toggle and filtering on the week number and cause of death options.
For clarity: The filter/drop-down on the pivot tables for 'All-causes' does not contain Covid-19 deaths, they are not double counted. By default, both options are ticked. If you were to untick the Covid-19 option it would deduct from the total deaths, leaving you with deaths from all other causes. Additionally, if both were ticked and you unticked All-causes, it would leave you with the total number of Covid-19 deaths.
We also provide a facility via customise my data, you can filter deaths by week and location. This can be found via the following link: https://www.ons.gov.uk/datasets/weekly-deaths-local-authority/editions/time-series/versions/1
