Tēnā koe Tulson,

I refer to your information request below, received via the FYI website.

It is not clear what you are referring to when you ask about 'excess death rates'.
We are unable to answer your question without clarification.

Can you please clarify whether the 'excess death rates' you are asking about relate to the Covid-19 pandemic, or to another cause, and which time period you would like this information for?

Ngā mihi nui,

Private Secretary (Executive Support)
Office of the Prime Minister

Dear J Ardern (MIN),

I refer to infoshare stats https://infoshare.stats.govt.nz/ViewTabl...
Deaths in Males are up signifacantly since Quarter 2 in 2019 ( i guess we could attribute that to covid) What is causing the excess deaths in Quarter 2 and Quarter 3 of 2022 as they look concerningly high.

Yours sincerely,

Tulson Caird
