We said
Thank you for your enquiry.
We are responsible for the production of mortality data for England and Wales, driven by information collected from the death certificate at death registration. National Records Scotland (NRS) and Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency (NISRA) are responsible for statistics pertaining to Scotland and Northern Ireland. They can be contacted at foi@nrscotland.gov.uk and info@nisra.gov.uk respectively.
We do publish headline data for the UK as part of Vital Statistics in the UK publication, but this is not disaggregated by age.
We do not hold analysis by your specific age groups by month. Our monthly deaths publication is not disaggregated by age.
Our weekly and annual publications are published by 5-year age group for England and Wales. Using our Deaths Registered in England and Wales (provisional) publication for 2021 and 2022, you can see weekly totals for age groups 11 – 14 and 15-19. Please note this data is provisional and subject to change, this it to allow the inclusion of late registrations which are deaths that have been referred for Coroner investigation.
For 2014 to 2020, this information is available annually through our NOMIS webservice, or you can use the provisional deaths registered weekly series, which is available in the previous versions tab.
We can create a custom output of monthly deaths in England and Wales for 12-15, 16 – 17- and 18–19-year-olds with a comparison to the 5-year average. This would be a custom user-requested dataset made under the ONS Open Data policy, which is subject to legal frameworks, disclosure control, resources and agreements of costs. Such enquiries can be made to HALE Customer services team on Health.Data@ons.gov.uk.
