The number of reported deaths of hospital patients in the Anglia region has risen slightly following a dip over the weekend.

NHS England said there were a further 41 death announced by NHS Trusts in the region on Tuesday.

Recently the daily death toll has been at the lowest rate since March with 17 deaths reported on Monday and 25 on Sunday. There is usually a reduction in the figures at the weekend owing to a time lag in the data being collated.

The total number of hospital patients who have died in the Anglia region is now 3,107 but when the number of people dying in care homes, hospices, in their own homes and elsewhere in the community are included the total is more than 4.300.

New weekly data from the Office of National Statistics and the Care Quality Commission was released on Tuesday. It shows the weekly total of deaths in the region has been falling in the fortnight to 1st May.

The number of deaths in care homes had also dipped from a peak of 234 in the week ending 24th April but there were signs of a small increase last week.
