Coronavirus: Death
Asked by: Lord Hain (Labour - Life peer) Wednesday 25th October 2023 Question to the Cabinet Office: To ask His Majesty's Government how many deaths occurred in each of the last 12 months where the cause of death was listed as COVID-19. Answered by Baroness Neville-Rolfe - Minister of State (Cabinet Office) The information requested falls under the remit of the UK Statistics Authority.
Please see the letter attached from the National Statistician and Chief Executive of the UK Statistics Authority.
The Rt Hon. the Lord Hain House of Lords London SW1A 0PW
20 October 2023
Dear Lord Hain,
As National Statistician and Chief Executive of the UK Statistics Authority, I am responding to your Parliamentary Question asking how many deaths occurred in each of the last 12 months where the cause of death was listed as COVID-19 (HL10538).
The Office for National Statistics (ONS) is responsible for publishing statistics on deaths registered in England and Wales [1]. Figures for Scotland [2] and Northern Ireland [3] are the responsibility of National Records for Scotland and Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency, respectively.
Causes mentioned on the death certificate are converted to International Classification of Diseases 10th edition (ICD-10) codes, with the underlying cause of death defined as the disease or injury that initiated the events that directly lead to the death. The ICD-10 codes for COVID-19 are U07.1, U07.2, U10.9, U09.9. Table 1 shows the number of deaths due to COVID-19 registered in England and Wales by month registered between October 2022 and September 2023. Yours sincerely, Professor Sir Ian Diamond
Table 1: Deaths due to COVID-19 by month and year of registration, England and Wales, registered October 2022 and September 2023 [4,5,6,7,8].
Source: Office for National Statistics [1] https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/birthsdeathsandmarriages/deaths/ [2] https://www.nrscotland.gov.uk/statistics-and-data/statistics/statistics-by-theme/vital-events/deaths [3] https://www.nisra.gov.uk/statistics/births-deaths-and-marriages/deaths [4] Figures are for deaths registered, rather than deaths occurring in each period. [5] Figures are based on provisional data. [6] Figures include the deaths of usual residents of England and Wales as well as those of nonresidents. [7] Figures are based on deaths where COVID-19 (ICD-10 codes U07.1, U07.2, U10.9, U09.9) was the underlying cause of death. [8] Deaths due to COVID-19 refers to deaths where COVID-19 was the underlying cause of death. The underlying cause of death is defined by WHO as the disease or injury that initiated the train of events directly leading to death.

Coronavirus: Death
Asked by: Lord Dobbs (Conservative - Life peer) Friday 5th May 2023 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask His Majesty's Government what is the total number of deaths in the UK to date attributed to COVID-19. Answered by Lord Markham - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care) The Government records deaths attributed to COVID-19 in the following ways: deaths that have COVID-19 recorded on their death certificate/registration; and any death that occurs 28 days after a positive COVID-19 test.
As of 24 March, 223,396 deaths in the United Kingdom have had COVID-19 recorded on death certificates/registrations.
As of 17 April, 213,637 deaths have been recorded in the UK 28 days after a positive COVID-19 test.
These two measures serve different purposes. Death registrations are a reference for overall death toll from COVID-19 (along with excess mortality estimates) and the 28-day death measure is most useful as a rapid indicator of death following COVID-19 infection, with peak utility when a new variant emerges, or during a new wave which requires timely monitoring of severity for public health purposes. |

Coronavirus: Death
Asked by: Valerie Vaz (Labour - Walsall South) Monday 24th April 2023 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what recent assessment he has made of the implications for his policies of trends in the level of (a) covid-19 infection, (b) admissions to hospital as a result of covid-19 infection or related complications and (c) deaths attributed to covid-19 in the last six months. Answered by Maria Caulfield - Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Business and Trade) (Minister for Women) UK Health Security Agency are continually monitoring trends in COVID-19, to inform the Government on the spread, severity and impact of COVID-19. Long term trends must be interpreted with caution, as they can be affected by changes in dominant variant, timing of vaccine booster campaigns, seasonality, and changes to testing policy. Over the last six months, trends have shown that cases of COVID-19 are seen to increase approximately every three months before returning to a baseline. This was seen over the Christmas period, and there has been a slow increase over March that has returned to baseline. Overall, the peaks are smaller than those seen in previous waves, peaking at 8,236 cases per day in December 2022 compared to a peak of 30,388 in July 2022. Hospital admission due to COVID-19 tend to mirror cases of COVID-19. Over the last six months there have been peaks in hospital admissions over the Christmas period and a slow increase over March that has begun to decrease. Admissions peaks are similar or smaller than those seen previously, peaking at 1,376 admissions per day in December 2022, 1,418, in October 2022 and 2,005 in July 2022. For deaths attributed to COVID-19, where COVID-19 is recorded on the death certificate/registration, over the last six months there has been an increase in deaths over the early January period, and a slow increase in April 2023. Peaks in deaths have been similar or lower to those seen previously, peaking at 126 per day in Jan 2023, 111 in Oct 2022, and 189 in July 2022. |

Coronavirus: Death
Asked by: Lord Strathcarron (Conservative - Excepted Hereditary) Monday 6th February 2023 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the analysis in chapter 10 of the Technical report on the COVID-19 pandemic in the UK, published on 1 December 2022, that non-COVID excess deaths are being caused by, among other factors, patients not receiving statins or blood pressure medicines during the pandemic. Answered by Lord Markham - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care) We have made no specific assessment; however, it is likely that a combination of factors has contributed to non-COVID-19 excess deaths, including high flu prevalence and health conditions such as heart disease and diabetes. Different organisations are producing diverse estimates based on differing methodologies. |
