**THIS IS AN AUTOMATED RESPONSE**
 
Dear Customer,
 
Thank you for your email. We are currently receiving a higher than usual
volume of emails so it may take us a little longer to respond directly to
your email. In the meantime, you may find the following information
helpful.
 
Please note: our normal working hours are 08:00 to 18:00 from Monday to
Friday (excluding Bank Holidays). Emails received at the weekend will not
be reviewed until the next working day.
How can the Customer Contact Centre help me?
NHS England commissions or buys primary care services; for example, GPs,
dentists, opticians, and pharmacy services. We are also responsible for
prison healthcare, military health services, and some specialised
services. We can provide advice about accessing, giving feedback or making
a complaint about these services.
You may be able to find the answer you are looking for in our Frequently
Asked Questions<https://www.england.nhs.uk/contact-us/ho...>
and our website explains how to share feedback or make a
complaint.[1]https://www.england.nhs.uk/contact-us/co...
What if I have an enquiry or complaint about hospital care, NHS 111 or
out-of-hours GP services?
If your enquiry or complaint is about secondary care, this includes
hospitals, NHS 111, mental health services, out-of-hours services and
community services such as district nursing, you will need to contact the
organisation that provided the service. All hospitals have a Patient
Advice and Liaison Service (PALS)
[2]https://www.nhs.uk/common-health-questio...
. Alternatively, you can contact your local Clinical Commissioning Group
(CCG). You can find their contact details on the NHS
website[3]https://www.nhs.uk/Service-Search/Clinic...
Does the NHS England Customer Contact Centre provide medical advice?
No. Our advisors are not clinically trained and are unable to provide
medical advice. If you require emergency medical attention, dial 999 or
attend your local Accident and Emergency department if you are able to do
so.
If you require non-urgent medical advice please contact your GP, local
walk-in or urgent healthcare centre, or call NHS 111. Calls are free from
landlines and mobile phones.

How do I report a change of name or address?
You should report a change of name or address to your GP practice so they
can update their records. If your new address is outside the practice’s
catchment area you may be asked to register with a new GP practice.
You should also advise your dentist or optician of a change of name or
address as they keep their own records.

Where can I find further information about NHS England?
You can find information about NHS England and our work on our
website[4]https://www.england.nhs.uk/about/
How do you use my information?
NHS England’s privacy notice explains how we use, share and store your
personal information. You can find this on our

FOITEAMCRMMAILBOX (NHS ENGLAND & NHS IMPROVEMENT - X24), NHS England

Dear Lee Franklin,  

Thank you for your Freedom of Information (FOI) request dated 28 January
2021.

Your exact request was:

“I'm looking for information on direct deaths caused by covid 19 and not
people who have died for any reason within 28 days of a positive test”

NHS England does not hold information in relation to your request.

NHS England holds information in respect of deaths of patients who have
died in hospitals in England and had tested positive for COVID-19 or where
COVID-19 was mentioned on the death certificate. This information is
published on our website at:

[1]https://www.england.nhs.uk/statistics/st...

The daily statistical publication contains:
 

* COVID-19 deaths by region
* COVID-19 deaths by region: Cases where COVID-19 is mentioned on the
death certificate and no positive COVID-19 test result was received
* COVID-19 deaths by age band
* COVID-19 deaths by NHS Trust

The weekly published summary contains:
 

* COVID-19 deaths by ethnicity
* COVID-19 deaths by age and gender
* COVID-19 deaths by age group and pre-existing condition
* COVID-19 deaths by type of pre-existing condition

Please note that NHS England does not hold data for any individual sites,
units or facilities within each trust.

As detailed in the notes which accompany the statistics, the figures do
not include deaths outside hospital, for example in care homes or in the
community, and are for England only. NHS England does not hold information
in relation to deaths outside of hospitals.

Please note that the above figures do not state whether or not COVID-19
was the single cause of death. NHS England only collects data with respect
to deaths of patients who have died in hospitals in England and had tested
positive for COVID-19 in the 28 days prior to their death, or where
COVID-19 was mentioned on their death certificate. For further information
on this methodology of reporting please see:

NHS England does not collect or hold any other information about COVID-19
deaths.

which contains the cause of death for all deaths registered in England. 
This is available at:

deaths in all settings in the UK by Local Authority at the below links:
