Life - Articles - Stable start to 2025 mortality


The Continuous Mortality Investigation (CMI) publishes frequent mortality analysis for England & Wales through its mortality monitors. Today’s updates cover the period to 28 March 2025.

 The key points are:
 • Mortality in the first quarter of 2025 was similar to that seen in the first quarter of 2024 and consistent with the record low mortality observed in 2024 as a whole.
 • There were around 28,300 deaths involving influenza registered in the first quarter of 2025, compared to around 26,800 in the first quarter of 2024 and 31,500 in the first quarter of 2023.
 • There were around 1,200 deaths involving COVID-19 registered in the first quarter of 2025, compared to around 3,500 in the first quarter of 2024 and 7,700 in the first quarter of 2023.
 • There remains some uncertainty regarding the impact of registration delays linked to the impact of the 9 September 2024 certification reforms.
 
 Cobus Daneel, Chair of the CMI Mortality Projections Committee, said: “Despite ongoing pressures on the healthcare sector, death registrations during the first quarter of 2025 remained relatively low. However, changes to death registration rules make year-on-year comparisons more challenging than usual.”

 All mortality monitor updates are publicly available here on the mortality monitor page.
