  • rough sleeping or with no fixed abode

Where you have access to any of the following information, please include the cause of death or suspected cause of death, date of death, the person's gender, the person's age when they died, their ethnicity, and their immigration status. If you cannot provide any of this information, then please just provide the number of deaths.

Please provide the information in the Excel document attached.

If it is not possible to provide the information requested due to the information exceeding the cost of compliance limits identified in section 12, please provide advice and assistance, under the Section 16 obligations of the Act, as to how I can refine my request.
