You asked
Would it be possible to get figures for the number of deaths which occurred for the year 2024, for all of the Belfast Trust, where the cause of death was from Pulmonary embolism, and the person had a hospital admission within the previous 90 days.
I would also benefit from figures of the number of the deaths that have Pulmonary Embolism as the cause, that occurred in the whole of Northern Ireland for the year 2024 (no matter if they had a hospital admission or not)?

Thank you for your request.
