Please see the response to my FOI to Public Health England, who have suggested you would be better to answer the second half of this question
Could you provide information relating to the death certificates of all the remaining "official" COVID deaths. Without providing any personal information such as, name, age sex, please provide all the causes of deaths that were mentioned on the death certificates.
I'd prefer this to be provided as raw data per person e.g. person 1, Cause of death 1 - Covid, Cause of death 2 - car accident etc.

Thank you for your enquiry.
We publish weekly death statistics and, from 31 March 2020, these figures also show the number of deaths involving coronavirus (COVID-19), based on any mention of COVID-19 on the death certificate using the World Health Organisation ICD10 International Classification of Diseases. The remaining figures from the Public Health England (PHE) exercise of removing the 5000 cases is now in line with the COVID-19 figures published by us.
Please see our Mortality Statistics User Guide which may be of interest to you. This is available via the following link: User Guide to mortality statistics.
Unfortunately, we would be unable to provide the requested list of COVID-19 deaths with all causes mentioned on the death certificate in answer to your request. In order to fulfil this request, we would need use a high level of statistical skill and judgement in order 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.
