	uin	HL3861
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/12/2022 answer text <p>The information requested falls under the remit of the UK Statistics Authority.</p><p>A response to the Hon. Member's Parliamentary Question of 29 November is attached.</p><p> </p><p>Professor Sir Ian Diamond | National Statistician</p><p>The Lord Storey CBE</p><p>House of Lords</p><p>London</p><p>SW1A 0PW</p><p> </p><p>07 December 2022</p><p> </p><p>Dear Lord Storey,</p><p>As National Statistician and Chief Executive of the UK Statistics Authority, I am responding to your Parliamentary Question asking how many people have died from drowning in each of the last 5 years (HL3861).</p><p>The Office for National Statistics (ONS) publishes statistics on deaths registered in England and Wales. Mortality statistics are compiled from information supplied when deaths are certified and registered as part of civil registration. Causes mentioned on the death certificate are converted to International Classification of Diseases (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. At the ONS, we use the term “due to” to refer to the underlying cause of a death.</p><p>The ICD-10 codes of accidental drowning related deaths are W65 to W74, which come under the accidental drowning and submersion sub chapter. This consists of:</p><p>• W65 – Drowning and submersion while in bath-tub</p><p>• W66 – Drowning and submersion following fall into bath-tub</p><p>• W67 – Drowning and submersion while in swimming-pool</p><p>• W68 – Drowning and submersion following fall into swimming-pool</p><p>• W69 – Drowning and submersion while in natural water</p><p>• W70 – Drowning and submersion following fall into natural water</p><p>• W73 – Other specified drowning and submersion</p><p>• W74 – Unspecified drowning and submersion</p><p>Table 1 shows the numbers of deaths involving accidental drowning and submersion by year in England and Wales for the period 2017 to 2021, taken from Deaths registered in England and Wales – 21st century mortality[1] . Accidental drowning and submersion is considered an external cause of morbidity and mortality, because of this it is usually referred to a coroner for the death to be certified, which may lead to registration delays[2] . Data for 2022 will be available from mid2023 in the yearly publication on Deaths registered in England and Wales[3] .</p><p>Yours sincerely,</p><p>Professor Sir Ian Diamond</p><p> </p><p>Table 1: Numbers[4] of deaths[5] by accidental drowning[6] and submersion by year, 2017 to 2021, England and Wales[7]</p><p>Year Total per year</p><p>2017 193</p><p>2018 211</p><p>2019 175</p><p>2020 193</p><p>2021 215</p><p><em>Source: Office for National Statistics – Deaths registered in England and Wales – 21st Century Mortality</em></p><p> </p><p>[1] https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/birthsdeathsandmarriages/deaths/datasets/the 21stcenturymortalityfilesdeathsdataset</p><p>[2] https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/birthsdeathsandmarriages/deaths/articles/impa ctofregistrationdelaysonmortalitystatisticsinenglandandwales/latest</p><p>[3] https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/birthsdeathsandmarriages/deaths/bulletins/deat hsregistrationsummarytables/latest</p><p>[4] Number of deaths by ICD-10 code are available through our explorable dataset NOMIS from 2013 onwards, this can be accessed here: https://www.nomisweb.co.uk/query/construct/summary.asp?reset=yes&amp;mode=construct&amp;dataset=161&amp;v ersion=0&amp;anal=1&amp;initsel=</p><p>[5] Death figures are based on deaths registered rather than deaths occurring in a calendar year; for more information see our Impact of registrations delays release.</p><p>[6] International Classification of Diseases 10th edition (ICD-10) codes are as follows: W65, Drowning and submersion while in bath-tub; W66, Drowning and submersion following fall into bath-tub; W67, Drowning and submersion while in swimming-pool; W68, Drowning and submersion following fall into swimming-pool; W69, Drowning and submersion while in natural water; W70, Drowning and submersion following fall into natural water; W73, Other specified drowning and submersion; W74, Unspecified drowning and submersion.</p><p>[7] Figures for England and Wales include deaths of non-residents.</p> answering member printed Baroness Neville-Rolfe question first answered 13/12/2022 17:23:22 answering member 4284 label Biography information for Baroness Neville-Rolfe attachment 1 file name UKSA_Response_to_PQHL3861 (1).pdf title Drowning Deaths

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/07/2016 answer text <p>In the majority of adult prisons in England education is delivered by Skills Funding Agency (SFA) Offender Learning and Skills Service (OLASS) providers. Individuals wishing to be employed by OLASS providers to teach in prisons should meet the same standards as those preparing to teach SFA funded provision in the learning and skills sector in England.</p><p>In addition, the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills grant funds the Education and Training Foundation (ETF) to deliver a specific programme of work to support teaching and learning in prisons, this includes activity to support the professional development of OLASS teachers. In 2016-17 we made available £0.6m to the ETF.</p><p>Training such as in health and safety is the responsibility of the Prison Governor and is arranged locally for OLASS staff by individual prisons.</p><p>There are also a number of privately managed prisons where the operator is responsible for providing education under their contract with the National Offender Management Service. The Directors of those prisons ensure that, beyond their teaching qualifications, teachers will attend a training course varying between three days and one week, depending on which prison they work at. This training is aimed at preparing them to work in the prison environment. A number of these prisons operate a further period where the new starter will observe and shadow existing staff, usually lasting two weeks.</p> answering member printed Baroness Neville-Rolfe question first answered 08/07/2016 11:27:50 answering member 4284 label Biography information for Baroness Neville-Rolfe
