Dear South Tyneside and Sunderland NHS Foundation Trust,

Under the freedom of information act 2000 I’d like to find out the following:

Can you verify, from 23rd March 2020 to present, how many people died due to covid. This figure is to be for “died with” not died from.

Can you please further break this down to the age groups that are generally being used when showing the “died with” figures.

Finally can you confirm how many of these deaths had pre-existing conditions.

Yours faithfully,

David
