The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, pursuant to the Answer of 31 March 2025 to Question 40751 on GP Practice Lists, how the standardised mortality ratio for people aged under 65 years old is calculated in each constituency.

Answered by Stephen Kinnock

The standardised mortality ratio for those aged under 65 years old is calculated by multiplying the number of people in each age group under 65 years old, within an area, by the national average death rate for each age group.

This is calculated at a ward level, with no constituency-level data calculated or used.
