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
