Weekly Death Registrations in Northern Ireland, 2024

This page contains weekly deaths tables from 2024.

Please note: The tables on this page are cumulative and cover all weeks for 2024.

Friday 23 February: For the first time table 1, in the weekly death registrations tables, includes estimates based on the new UK-wide methodology to report on excess deaths. The new method is as advised by ONS in their blog post and methodology paper, and as pre-announced by NISRA in the October 2023 Vital Statistics newsletter and summarised in the information paper published on 20 February.
We will continue to include both 5-year averages (including and excluding 2020) as the previous estimate of expected deaths, in addition to the new baseline for calculating excess deaths, for comparison and transparency purposes.

It should be noted that the total number of registrations completed in week 52 will likely have been impacted by office closures due to the Christmas holidays.
