From: R Bailey
Dear Alysha Stevenson,
Apologies for the lack of clarity.
I would like data which has the following (anonymised data);
- date of death
- date of submission
- date the death is actually registered
For each death since 1 Jan 2018 until the latest available data.
(e.g column headings are ID, death_date, submission-date, registration_date)
I am not seeking an average for each year.
I would like to work out the distribution for time between date of death to death registration. (For example 25% are <7 days after death, 25% 7-12 days, 25% 12-21 days 25% >21 days).
If there are 2022 deaths that are submitted, but yet to be registered it would be great to have that info as well.
Yours sincerely,
R Bailey
