Notice

14 January 2026

The number of deaths registered in the latest week (Week 1 2026) was affected by the New Year’s Day bank holiday, and the previous week (Week 52 2025) was affected by the Christmas Day and Boxing Day bank holidays, so caution is needed when comparing across weeks and with expected deaths.

There are also minor discrepancies between the Week 1 figures for Scotland and Northern Ireland published here and by NRS and NISRA, respectively. Please see the ‘Important notes and usage information’ at the bottom of this page for further details.

Important notes and usage information

The number of expected deaths for Northern Ireland in Week 1 2026 is slightly lower than that published by NISRA in their Weekly Death Registrations in Northern Ireland, 2026 publication. This is because of small statistical coding differences, which we will investigate further ahead of next week’s release.

The number of deaths for Scotland in Week 1 2026 does not match that published by NRS in their Deaths registered weekly in Scotland - National Records of Scotland (NRS). This is because of a process difference after the holiday period, which will be corrected ahead of next week’s release.
