Public Health England’s (PHE’s) weekly all-cause mortality surveillance helps to detect and report significant weekly excess mortality (deaths) above normal seasonal levels. This report doesn’t assess general trends in death rates or link excess death figures to particular factors.

Excess mortality is defined as a significant number of deaths reported over that expected for a given week in the year, allowing for weekly variation in the number of deaths. PHE investigates any spikes seen which may inform public health actions.

Reports are published weekly in the winter season (October to May) and fortnightly during the summer months (June to September).

This page includes reports published between 10 October 2019 and 1 October 2020. The latest reports for 2020 to 2021 are also available.

Reports are also available for:

• 2018 to 2019
• 2017 to 2018
• 2016 to 2017
• 2015 to 2016
• 2014 to 2015
