<p>The information requested falls under the remit of the UK Statistics Authority.
I have, therefore, asked the Authority to respond.</p><p><strong>Professor Sir Ian
Diamond</strong> | National Statistician</p><p> </p><p>The Lord Marlesford DL<br>
House of Lords</p><p>London</p><p>SW1A 0PW</p><p> </p><p>03 March 2021</p><p> </p><p>
</p><p>Dear Lord Marlesford,</p><p> </p><p>As National Statistician and Chief Executive
of the UK Statistics Authority, I am responding to your Parliamentary Question asking
what proportion of the first 100,000 people to die as a result of COVID-19 died in
(1) England, (2) Scotland, (3) Wales, and (4) Northern Ireland; how many of those
died (a) in hospital, (b) in care homes, and (c) elsewhere; and how many of those
were (i) over 80 years old, (ii) over 70 years old, (iii) under 50 years old, (iv)
BAME, (v) male, and (vi) female <strong>(HL13602)</strong>.</p><p> </p><p>The Office
for National Statistics (ONS) publishes statistics on deaths in England and Wales
and produces a weekly report[1] on provisional numbers of deaths involving COVID-19.
Mortality statistics are compiled from information supplied when deaths are certified
and registered as part of civil registration. National Records for Scotland[2] and
the Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency[3] are responsible for publishing
statistics on deaths registered in Scotland and Northern Ireland respectively.</p><p>
</p><p>We cannot precisely organise deaths involving COVID-19 into the ‘first 100,000’
at this time. However, we have provided figures for deaths registered up to the end
of Week 2 of 2021 (ending 15 January 2021) which is when deaths involving COVID-19
first passed 100,000 in total.</p><p> </p><p>Table 1 below provides the number of
deaths involving COVID-19 in the UK, and the proportion of these in England, Wales,
Scotland, and Northern Ireland. Table 2 provides the number of deaths involving COVID-19
by place of death in each UK country. Table 3 provides the number of deaths involving
COVID by age group and sex. Please note that the UK totals in Table 3 are slightly
different from Tables 1 and 2, as published data by age group and sex are only available
for England and Wales combined (including non-residents) rather than England and Wales
as individual countries.</p><p> </p><p>The ONS has published a report on ethnic contrasts
in deaths involving COVID-19 in England and Wales[4]. Table 4 shows the number of
deaths involving COVID-19 in England and Wales; data have been published for deaths
that occurred (rather than were registered) between 2 March 2020 and 28 July 2020.
Please note this data includes only deaths that could be linked to the 2011 Census,
as this was necessary to obtain ethnic group data. Because the method of calculation
is different, the numbers do not relate directly to those in Tables 1 to 3.</p><p>

Weeks for Scotland run Monday to Sunday rather than Saturday to Friday, so Week 2
of 2021 is week ending 11th January 2021 rather than week ending 15 January 2021</p><p>[6]
Figures for individual countries exclude deaths of non-residents. Figures for “England
and Wales” totals include non-residents of England and Wales; for this reason, UK
totals in Table 3 differ from Tables 1 and 2.</p><p>[7] Data in Tables 1, 3 and 3
are based on date a death was registered rather than occurred. Data in Table 4 are
based on the date a death occurred, registered up to 24 August 2020. There is a delay
between a death occurring and it being registered</p><p>[8] All figures for 2020 and
2021 are provisional.</p><p>[9] The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth
Edition (ICD-10) definitions are as follows: coronavirus (COVID-19) (U07.1 and U07.2).
We use the term “involving COVID-19” when referring to deaths that mentioned these
ICD-10 codes anywhere on the death certificate, whether as the underlying cause of
death or elsewhere.</p><p>[10] Deaths at home are those at the usual residence of
the deceased (according to the informant)‚ where this is not a communal establishment.
Other Communal Establishments include (for example) prisons, student residences, and
hotels. Elsewhere includes all places not covered above.</p><p>[11] "Other"
includes deaths in communal establishments other than hospitals and care homes, in
hospices, and that occurred "elsewhere".</p><p>[12]Data in Table 4 includes
