SAHSU - ONS England and Wales Death registrations

Dataset

Documentation

Description:
Death registration data for England and Wales include every death registered from 1981 onwards. Supplied to the Office for National Statistics (ONS) by the Local Registration Service in partnership with the General Register Office (GRO), these datasets record demographic details and cause of death, coded using the World Health Organization (WHO) International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10). SAHSU holds a data sharing agreement with the ONS and has access to a restricted subset of variables from the full dataset. The dataset may be internally linkable with SAHSU's environmental datasets, including air pollution and green space.
