Deaths and Mortality

Mortality data provide information on the overall health of a population, particularly when looking at premature or preventable deaths. To ensure that there continues to be a reduction in the rate of premature mortality, and that any inequalities between areas are reduced, there needs to be concerted action in both prevention and treatment. This section looks at mortality information for all causes, as well as those related to specific conditions.
