The update for March 2022 has been published by the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities (OHID).
Place of death factsheets have been updated. These are available for each clinical commissioning group and include percentage of deaths in hospital, home, care home, hospice and other places by age at death (all ages, 0 to 64 years, 65 to 74 years, 74 to 84 years and 85 years and older) for 2019, 2020 and 2021 (provisional).
This update also includes the launch of the care home factsheets. These are available for each upper-tier local authority and include trends in care home deaths and data on care home bed availability by service speciality.
The palliative and end of life care profiles are presented in an interactive tool which aims to help local government and health services improve care at the end of life.
