Unfortunately, we would be unable to provide you with further disaggregation of COVID-19 deaths by age group with no-preexisting conditions. To fulfil this request, we would need to create a bespoke analysis or table. 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.
