<p>The information requested falls under the remit of the UK Statistics Authority.
I have therefore asked the Authority to respond.</p><p>Dear Baroness Altmann,</p><p>As
National Statistician and Chief Executive of the UK Statistics Authority, I am responding
to your Parliamentary Question asking how many people died from a stroke in each of
the last ten years; and of those, how many were aged (a) 60–69, (b) 70–79, (c) 80–89,
and (d) 90–99 <strong>(HL5630)</strong>.</p><p>The Office for National Statistics
(ONS) is responsible for publishing mortality statistics for deaths registered in
England and Wales. The most recent annual figures published are for deaths registered
in 2019[1]. However, we do publish provisional weekly deaths registrations, which
are currently published for deaths registered up to 17 July 2020[2]. National Records
Scotland (NRS) and the Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency (NISRA) are
responsible for publishing the number of deaths registered in Scotland and Northern
Ireland respectively.</p><p>Cause of death is defined using the International Classification
of Diseases and Related Health Problems, 10th edition (ICD-10). Deaths caused by stroke
are identified by the ICD-10 codes I60-I69 .</p><p>Table 1 contains the number of
deaths involving stroke occurring in England and Wales in the years 2009-2019. This
data is not yet available for 2020. The finalised annual death registrations for 2020
will be published in summer 2021.</p><p>Yours sincerely,</p><p><strong>Professor Sir
Ian Diamond</strong></p><p><strong>Table 1: Number of deaths occuring where the underlying
