Notes
- Avoidable deaths are those under 75 that could mostly have been prevented by public health measures (preventable) or treated by timely and effective healthcare (treatable), by the ONS's 2023 definition. Rates are per 100,000 people, age-standardised to the 2013 European Standard Population. A cause that is both is counted half to each, so the ONS's counts of deaths can end in a half; the hub shows the rates.
