The update for January 2023 has been published by the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities (OHID).
The percentage of deaths in care homes who are temporary residents indicator has been updated to include data for 2021 for England, regions, local authorities, former clinical commissioning group areas, NHS regions and strategic clinical networks.
Place of death factsheets for clinical commissioning groups have been updated to include monthly provisional place of death for September 2022.
Care home factsheets for England, counties and unitary authorities have been updated to include trends in care home deaths to September 2022.
The update to the place of death factsheets and the care home factsheets corrects an issue identified with the data used to produce these factsheets in October and November 2022. Consequently the number of deaths reported for July 2022 has increased.
The palliative and end of life care profiles are presented in an interactive tool which aims to help local government and health services improve care at the end of life.
