Thank you for your enquiry.

Following a search of our records, I can confirm that we do not currently hold the information you have requested.

We are responsible for publishing mortality statistics for deaths registered in England and Wales using the information supplied on the death certificate. The most recent year for which mortality statistics are available is 2017. Data for Scotland is available from National Records Scotland https://www.nrscotland.gov.uk/statistics-and-data/statistics/statistics-by-theme/vital-events/deaths, and for Northern Ireland from the Northern Ireland Research https://www.nisra.gov.uk/statistics/births-deaths-and-marriages/deaths.

However, we may be able to create what you have requested, or something similar, as a bespoke analysis restricted to England and Wales and covering years 2012-2017. Any such analysis would be outside of the Freedom of Information regime and would be subject to legal frameworks, disclosure control, resources and agreement of costs where appropriate. If this is something you would be interested in, please contact vsob@ons.gov.uk so that we can discuss your enquiry further.
