Dear PJHQ-J9-ADMIN-SUPT (Hall, Denise E1),
I received the following response to my freedom of information
request (details below) but am unhappy with the answer.
I asked for a breakdown of diseases and ‘other’ causes of
fatalities of UK military personnel in Afghanistan for 2006, 2007,
2008 and 2009. This information is not on any of the websites that
they have suggested below bar saying that other means from a non
combat situation e.g. a sporting injury.
I would like more specific information. Does this exist?
Best,
Amy Oliver
Yours sincerely,
Amy Oliver

Dear Ms Oliver,
Table 5 x 5.
Table 5: Op HERRICK UK Military fatalities by cause^1, 2006-2009
^1 as classified by World Health Organisation's International Statistical
Classification of Diseases and Health-related Problems 10^th revision
(ICD-10
^2 Road Traffic Accidents
^3 Coroner confirmed Suicide and open verdicts
1. When providing statistics on suicides, Defence Analytical
Services and Advice rely exclusively on the information provided by
coroners in England and Wales and in Northern Ireland, and the Procurator
Fiscal in Scotland. This ensures the Department's objectivity, as all
accidental deaths and those resulting from violent action have to be
referred to these officials for investigation.
2. The statistics provided include both coroner-confirmed
suicides and open verdict deaths, in line with the definition used by the
Office for National Statistics (ONS), since research has shown that these
deaths share many similarities with suicides except that in the case of
open verdict deaths, the intention of the deceased to take their life has
not been sufficiently proven to the satisfaction of the coroner.
