Published: 8 February 2012

This report looks at patterns of death in England by socioeconomic deprivation. It:

• examines the interaction between deprivation, sex and age group, and place and underlying cause of death
• improves our understanding of deprivation as a key factor influencing end of life care, and
• adds to the evidence base for those making decisions about the provision and commissioning of care and aiming to reduce inequalities.
