We said

​Thank you for your request.

We are responsible for and hold mortality data for England and Wales, this is driven by information collected from the death certificate at death registration.

We do not hold patient referral data. NHS Digital may be better placed to answer your enquiry. They can be contacted via email at enquiries@nhsdigital.nhs.uk.

However, we have a previously published response to a Freedom of Information request on Heart attack deaths in 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022, which may be of interest.

If you would like to discuss this enquiry further, please contact health.data@ons.gov.uk.
