They haven’t been very anonymised.
As discussed very early on in this thread.
I’d imagine they’ll be reported just as a death unless consent is given for age, condition etc.

So the data is held back so you can't trace symptoms etc back to an individual, and therefor figure out how / why the person passed?

Oh if that's the case, then alright. I read it as 'deaths will not appear in the statistics if consent is withheld', which sounds a bit weird.

Why is family consent needed to gather an anonymous statistic like that?
