The information is not available in the format requested. NHS England publishes data on mortality associated with hospital care in the Summary Hospital‑level Mortality Indicator (SHMI), which measures deaths following hospitalisation across National Health Service trusts. The SHMI includes contextual indicators by admission method, including non‑elective admissions, but cannot identify deaths occurring in specific clinical locations such as hospital corridors.
