• Does anyone know any way of finding out numbers of deaths where COVID is given as "cause of death" rather than death within 28 days of +ve test?

    Just dig into the Deaths link on the UK Coronavirus Data page: https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk/details/deaths

    and you've got: "Daily deaths with COVID-19 on the death certificate by date of death"

    That data lags behind by 11 days (at least) though as it takes a while for the death registrations to get through.

    Latest data is 55 deaths in the UK on 19-03-2021 with Covid-19 mentioned on the death certificate.

    That, and the day before, took it over 150,000 on that metric. If it continues to drop at the current rate (roughly halving every 7 days) it wouldn't get to 151,000.
