The data update for November 2019 has been published by Public Health England.

This data update includes 8 indicators with new 2018 data and refreshed 2009 to 2017 data describing place of death and cause of death for clinical commissioning groups (CCGs), strategic transformation partnerships (STPs) and strategic clinical networks (SCNs):

  • percentage of deaths in each place of death (hospital, own home, care home, hospice, other places) by age at death (all ages, under 65 years, 65 to 74 years, 75 to 84 years, 85 years and older)
  • percentage of deaths with specific causes of death (cancer, circulatory disease, respiratory disease) by age at death (all ages, under 65 years, 65 to 74 years, 75 to 84 years, 85 years and older)

The profiles are designed to improve the availability and accessibility of information for local government and health services to improve care at end of life. The data is presented in an interactive tool that allows users to view and analyse it.
