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.
