B

I would also like the number of deaths of people under the age of 65 in the years 2018 to 2020.

Response

A

Details for 2021 are included in the table below. Death figures for 2022 are currently unavailable as the calendar year is incomplete. Article 3 of the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011 applies. Additionally, due to the delays which can sometimes occur with registration of deaths, it is standard for mortality to be reported in arrears.

Deaths occurring during the current calendar year will be reported on in 2023, as per the public health intelligence publication schedule linked below: 

Public Health Intelligence publication release schedule (gov.je)

B

Deaths data provided below includes numbers of deaths occurring in a calendar year in Jersey, plus deaths that occurred abroad to Jersey residents where the body was repatriated to Jersey.

Deaths under the age of 65 have been defined as deaths which have occurred between the ages of 0-64.
