Hospitals: Death

Mr. Hoban
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer how many deaths in hospitals were recorded on each day of (a) August 2007 and (b) August 2006.

Angela Eagle
The information requested falls within the responsibility of the National Statistician who has been asked to reply.

Letter from Colin Mowl, dated 26 February 2008:

The National Statistician has been asked to reply to your recent question asking how many deaths in hospitals were recorded on each day of (a) August 2007 and (b) August 2006.1 am replying in her absence. (189135)

Data for deaths which occurred in 2006 and 2007 are not yet available, and we are therefore currently unable to provide daily counts of deaths for those years.
