<p>The information requested falls under the remit of the UK Statistics Authority.</p><p>
</p><p>Please see the letter attached from the National Statistician and Chief Executive

0PW</p><p> </p><p>14 November 2023</p><p> </p><p>Dear Baroness Hoey,</p><p> </p><p>As
National Statistician and Chief Executive of the UK Statistics Authority, I am responding
to your Parliamentary Question asking how many excess deaths there have been in England
and Wales in each quarter since 1 January 2020; what were the totals in the years
(1) 2020, (2) 2021, (3) 2022, and (4) 2023 to date; and what proportion of deaths
where COVID-19 is mentioned on the death certificate have been (a) male, and (b) female
<strong>(HL36)</strong>.</p><p> </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.</p><p> </p><p>Table 1 provides information on excess deaths by quarter
in England and Wales. It also provides the age-standardised mortality rate (ASMR)
by quarter which is a weighted average of the age-specific mortality rate per 100,000
people. This takes into account the population size and age structure which means
comparisons between populations that may contain different proportions of people of
different ages can be made.</p><p> </p><p>Table 2 provides information on deaths involving
COVID-19 by sex.</p><p> </p><p>Yours sincerely,</p><p> </p><p>Professor Sir Ian Diamond</p><p>
