The number of deaths registered during the year. Data is the cause of death as given in the death register and based on the doctor's certificate of cause of death; this is known as 'original' cause of death. This is not the 'final' cause of death which takes account of any additional information provided by medical practitioners or coroners after the death has been registered. |
