New figures from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) reveal that the number of people dying at home has risen dramatically over the past 18 months.
At least 70,602 excess deaths in homes were recorded between 7 March 2020 and 17 September 2021 across England and Wales.
However, only 8,423 (12%) of these deaths are related to COVID-19, according to the Palestinian Authority News Agency’s analysis of data from the National Statistics Office.

The number of additional deaths – or excess deaths – is the number of deaths above the average compared to the corresponding period in the non-epidemic years 2015-19.
Meanwhile, more than 8,200 excess deaths have been recorded in private homes in England and Wales since the beginning of July alone.
This was compared to about 2,300 excess deaths in hospitals and about 1,000 in nursing homes over the same period.
The Office for National Statistics also published an analysis earlier this year that found that the majority of deaths from COVID-19 in 2020 occurred in hospitals and care homes.
But many deaths from other causes, such as breast cancer and prostate cancer, have occurred in private homes.

And deaths from diabetes in private homes increased by 60% in 2020 compared to the 2015-2019 average, while the number of deaths from chronic rheumatic heart disease and Parkinson’s disease increased by 66%.
For dementia and Alzheimer’s, deaths rose by 65% in private homes, while there were also 44% and 37% increases for prostate and breast cancer deaths.
Separate ONS figures published today showed that a total of 11,009 deaths were recorded across all places in England and Wales in the week ending 17 September.
This was higher than the death rate of 1,703 years. However, deaths from COVID-19 made up only half (851) of these excess deaths.
It’s also the eleventh consecutive week that deaths have been above the pre-pandemic average.
