Registrar General Annual Report 2022 Cause of Death

Date published: 26 October 2023

Statistics:

The tables that accompany the Annual Report of the Registrar General have been reviewed and consolidated with the formerly, separately published annual summary tables for each topic area to produce a single, streamlined set of annual tables. Details of the changes made and where to find specific information in the newly revised tables are available in the RG tables lookup document .
Additionally, users should note that they may see changes in any time series tables containing rates based on population. Any population-based rates have been recalculated using the rebased NI population estimates released at the end of summer 2023.
