Weekly deaths tables – week ending 30 June 2023

The tables containing data on deaths registered for the week ending 30 June 2023 were released at 9.30am today.

Please note: the content of the weekly deaths tables has been revised from Friday 7 July to reduce the amount of detail on covid-related deaths. Analysis for all deaths registered and top-level data on covid-related deaths continue to be available in the weekly tables. We will, of course, keep this under review should the need arise to include more analysis again.

Please note: that the weekly deaths publication for week 27 (week ending 7 July) will be published on Monday 17 July instead of Friday 14 July, due to the bank holiday.
