The most recent annual figures published are for deaths registered in 20191. However, we do publish provisional weekly deaths registrations, which are currently published for deaths registered up to 3 July 20202. 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>Table 1 provides the registered number of deaths from all causes between 1 March 2020 and the most recent available weekly deaths data in England, Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland. Table 2 provides the number of deaths registered and age-standardised mortality rates per 100,000 persons using the most consistent date range possible. Table 2 covers deaths registered between 1 March 2020 and 3 July for England, Wales, and Northern Ireland, but between 1 March and 5 July for Scotland.</p><p>Yours sincerely,</p><p>Professor Sir Ian Diamond</p><p><strong>Table 1: Number of deaths registered between 1 March and most recent weekly deaths date, by country of usual residence, United Kingdom<strong>[1]</strong><strong>[2]</strong><strong>[3]</strong><strong>[4]</strong></strong></p><table><tbody><tr><td colspan="4"><p><strong>Number of deaths</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>England</p></td><td><p>Wales</p></td><td><p>Northern Ireland</p></td><td><p>Scotland</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>224,398</p></td><td><p>13,601</p></td><td><p>6,227</p></td><td><p>29,728</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p><br>Source: <em>ONS</em></p><p><strong>Table 2: Number of deaths registered and age-standardised mortality rates, between 1 March 2020 and 3 July 2020 for England, Wales and Northern Ireland, and between 1 March 2020 and 5 July 2020 for Scotland<strong>[5]</strong><strong>[6]</strong></strong></p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Country</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Deaths</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Rates</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>England</p></td><td><p>224,398</p></td><td><p>415.2</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Wales</p></td><td><p>13,601</p></td><td><p>409.5</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Northern Ireland</p></td><td><p>6,227</p></td><td><p>385.1</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Scotland</p></td><td><p>28,302</p></td><td><p>541.5</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p><br>Source: <em>ONS</em></p><p>[1]Figures are based on deaths registered, rather than deaths occurring in the specified year.</p><p>[2]Geographic boundaries correct as of May 2020</p><p>[3]Deaths of non-residents of each country are excluded</p><p>[4]Deaths have been provided for the most up-to-date weekly data available.

ASMRs are a better measure of mortality than the number of deaths, as they account for the population size and age structure. They are also better for comparing between areas and over time.</p>
