Number of deaths from COVID 19 only

Response to this request is long overdue. By law, under all circumstances, NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership should have responded by now (details). You can complain by requesting an internal review.

Dear NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership,

I am doing some research regarding COVID 19. Under the freedom of infomation act, I would like you to supply me with the following infomation please.

How many people have died in each of the seven Welsh Local Health Boards from COVID 19 alone? As in they died only due to COVID 19. I can see the figures that you published online, but these are deaths within 28 days of a positive COVID 19 test, so they could of died from other causes. I just want to know the exact figure from 1st January 2020 untill the 31st December of people that have died due to COVID 19 and not anything else please.

Yours faithfully,

Matthew

Good morning Matthew

Happy new year to you.

In response to your request, NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership (NWSSP) is a central support organisation that does not manage the Health Boards employee information or indeed, any statistical information relating to deaths from Covid-19.

In our duty to advise and assist, I have provided you with the link to the Health Boards which is:

http://www.wales.nhs.uk/ourservices/dire...

You can contact them to ask for this information and they will respond accordingly.

I hope that this helps.

Regards,

Tim
