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.

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.

I suspect like many things around this there is further nuance for a variety of reasons.

It’s unlikely there is a “true” number, for many reasons already detailed in this thread.
