​​Could you please provide any available data re. the ethnicity of health and social care workers who have died from COVID-19? Please provide any additional information available linked to this, for example any breakdown by gender and occuption.

We said

Thank you for your enquiry.

Please see the following two publications, which provide estimates of mortality involving the coronavirus (COVID-19) by ethnic group and investigation of the explanatory power of hospital-based comorbidity on ethnic differences, building on previous models published by the Office for National Statistics:

Updating ethnic contrasts in deaths involving the coronavirus (COVID-19), England and Wales: deaths occurring 2 March to 28 July 2020

Coronavirus (COVID-19) related deaths by occupation, England and Wales: deaths registered between 9 March and 25 May 2020

In order to fulfil this request for further disaggregation of COVID-19 deaths by ethnicity and occupation, 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.
