Notes
- Deaths registered in England and Wales each calendar year, as Table_1 of the ONS's annual death registrations gives them: counted in the year a death was registered, not the year it happened. The England, Wales and non-residents total includes deaths of people who lived outside England and Wales, so it is more than England and Wales added together. The ONS gives deaths by sex from 1956, and for England and for Wales apart from 1994.
- The headline's age-standardised mortality rate is deaths per 100,000 people standardised to the 2013 European Standard Population, so that years whose populations differ in age can be compared; the ONS gives it from 1994. These are each year's final registrations: the hub's weekly deaths are provisional and their weeks are not the calendar year, so they do not add up to these.
