...changed the health profile of England's population radically by becoming the leading cause of death in 2020 and 2021. The number of people dying from Covid-19 exceeded the number of people dying from the most common killers in preceding years (eg, dementia and Alzheimer's disease, heart disease, stroke and lung cancer).

This report examines Office for National Statistics (ONS) (provisional) data on Covid-19 and overall deaths since 2020, when the pandemic started, to 29 July 2022. The data relates to England, England and Wales, or the UK depending on data availability and relevance to the context. Overall, the number of people who have died from Covid-19 to end-July 2022 is 180,000, about 1 in 8 of all deaths in England and Wales during the pandemic. There have been several waves of Covid-19 deaths in England and Wales between 2020 and 2022, causing a surge in total and excess deaths compared with years preceding the pandemic. The first and second waves between mid-March 2020 and March 2021 caused the most deaths. Since then, the number of people dying from Covid-19 has been more moderate. The pandemic has resulted in about 139,000 excess deaths in England and Wales by 29 July 2022. This caused the mortality rate from all causes in 2020 and 2021 to increase to levels of about a decade ago. However, from January to June 2022, the all-cause mortality fell and was lower than in any year since 2001, very likely because of people who died prematurely in 2020 and 2021 as a result of the pandemic. Covid-19 changed the health profile of England's population radically by becoming the leading cause of death in 2020 and 2021. The number of people dying from Covid-19 exceeded the number of people dying from the most common killers in preceding years (eg, dementia and Alzheimer's disease, heart disease, stroke and lung cancer).

This release provides information from the annual Care Home Census for Adults in Scotland on the numbers of care homes, registered places, residents, admissions and discharges. Data are presented at Scotland and at Local Authority level, and cover the period from 2010/11 to 2020/21, excluding the year 2019/20. On 31 March 2021, there were 1,069 care homes for adults and 40,632 registered places – 20% and 5% fewer, respectively, compared with 31 March 2011. On 31 March 2021, there were an estimated 33,353 residents aged 18 years and over in care homes – 11% fewer than 31 March 2011 (37,511). The estimated percentage occupancy on 31 March 2021 was 82%, compared with 88% on 31 March 2011. On 31 March 2021, there were an estimated 29,317 long stay residents in care homes for older people. Of these, an estimated 18,831 (64%) had dementia (either medically or non-medically diagnosed). Most care home provision is delivered by the private sector. The estimated number of residents in private sector care homes for older people decreased by 1,264 (5%) between 31 March 2011 and 31 March 2021. Over the same time period, the estimated number of residents decreased by 610 (19%) in the voluntary or not for profit sector, and by 1,269 (29%) in the Local Authority/Health Board sector. The estimated number of admissions by long stay residents to care homes for older people increased slightly (2%) in 2020/21, compared to 2018/19. For short stay and respite admissions, numbers declined sharply over the same time period by 20% and 68%, respectively, likely due to the impact of COVID-19. On 31 March 2021, there were 157 care homes for learning disabilities providing 1,542 places, 52 care homes for mental health problems providing 930 places, and 36 care homes for physical and sensory impairment providing 600 places.

This statistical analysis is taken from the Care Quality Commission (CQC) date published on 21st July 2021 in relation to the number of deaths attributed to COVID by individual care homes. A key finding is that 56 per cent of all care homes in England did not have a single death attributed to COVID-19, whilst a further 20 per cent had single figure percentages based on their number of beds. Of care homes caring for older people these figures were 40 per cent and 27 per cent respectively. The analysis includes care home deaths attributed to COVID by size of home; dementia specialism; type of home, residential or nursing; care quality rating; company sector; regional variation; and local authorities least and most affected by COVID deaths. The findings of this analysis suggest that larger homes had a greater share of deaths attributable to COVID-19 in the first peak, but this was not the case in the second, whilst there was a higher prevalence in homes specialising in dementia, and in nursing homes. A care homes CQC rating did not seem to have a bearing on the number of deaths in a care home.

The Dementia Profile is designed to improve the availability and accessibility of information on dementia to inform the provision of care of people in England who have dementia. It provides indicators arranged into six data domains: six domains: prevalence; preventing well; diagnosing well; living well; supporting well; and dying well. These profiles are at clinical commissioning group and local authority geographies and give local commissioners and providers the information they need to benchmark current practice against other CCGs, local authorities and England. Data and metadata are available online and as a download document.

Presents data and analysis on suicide, homicides and sudden unexplained deaths in the UK between 2005 and 2015, focusing on mental health. As well as providing data for the individual countries of the UK, it also provides UK-wide data for suicide in people with eating disorders, autism spectrum disorders, people living with dementia, carers and members of the armed forces. The report also makes recommendations for clinical practice to improve safety in mental health care. Key findings show that there were 1,538 patient suicides in the UK in 2015. Northern Ireland has the highest general population suicide rate, while the rates in the other countries have fallen. There have also been downward trends in the number of suicides by patients recently discharged from hospital in England and Scotland; and suicide by mental health in-patients. Messages to improve mental health care include a renewed emphasis on suicide prevention on in-patient wards; for services to build on the recent fall in suicide following discharge from in-patient care; and for a greater focus on alcohol and drug misuse as a key component of risk management in mental health care.

This briefing paper describes recent trends in the demographics of people who receive end of life care in a care home, presenting data on the place and cause of death for permanent and temporary residents of care homes. It also provides analyses of variation by geographical region. It reports that nearly two thirds (62 per cent) of people who died in care homes have dementia or Alzheimer’s disease as an underlying or contributory cause of death. It is the second of two briefings produced by National End of Life Care Intelligence Network to describe the important role that care homes play in the care of people at the end of life.
