  • Anglia

The number of patients dying in hospitals in the Anglia region announced by NHS England on Monday was 41, the lowest daily figure for almost a month.

The total number of hospital deaths across the Anglia region is now 2,371. On Sunday, 51 deaths were announced with 96 on Saturday.

It is possible the figures will rise again on Tuesday as there is sometimes a time lag in the data being processed over the weekend.

The daily figures released by NHS England do not include the people who have died at home, in care homes or in hospices.

New weekly figures on deaths outside hospital covering the period up to 17th April are being released on Tuesday and are expected to show a steep rise.
