Hello,
What I am trying to understand is how many people died with COVID and how many people died from COVID. To lower the burden on your Trust, can I therefore please have a response to questions 1.a and 2.a?
Other Trusts have been able to answer 1.a and 2.a by splitting the answer to 1.a by parts 1 and 2 of the death certificate. If you are still unable to answer those two questions, can you please explain how it is possible that you do not record what patients in your care die of?
Freedom of Information Request – Ref: FOI 294-2122
Thank you for your recent Freedom of Information request. In order to respond to your request our information teams are seeking the below clarification:
2a. How many people have died in your hospitals purely and only due to COVID-19?
Please can you confirm, are you asking for how many people had COVID-19 recorded at Part I Medical Certificate of Cause of Death death certificate. only without any other conditions/diseases/injuries recorded at Part II of the death certificate? Or do you want to know numbers of patients who only had COVID-19 recorded at Part I death certificate with other conditions/diseases/injuries recorded at Part II death certificate. Please can we kindly ask you re-phrase your question referencing Part I and Part II for clarity.
If you are unsure of what Part I and Part II of the death certificate is, you can follow this link for an explanation a guide for doctors who complete the death certificates.:
