In tables 11a and 11b the number of deaths for the five-year average (2015 to 2019) were originally published as the sum of 2015 to 2019 rather than the average. This has now been corrected; age-standardised rates and confidence intervals were unaffected. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.

In Table 11a, for leading causes of death, five year averages for December and year-to-date, England, mortality rates were in the wrong order. Apologies for any inconvenience this has caused.
