Figures are for deaths registered in each calendar year. 2. Figures for Wales exclude deaths of non-residents. 3. The Slope Index of Inequality (SII) is reported as a positive value to demonstrate increasing mortality rates with increasing deprivation. However, because the relative rank ranges from 0 (most deprived) to 100 (least deprived) the actual SII is negative."
