HC Deb 15 January 1987 vol 108 c304W
Mr. McNamara

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services how many pensioners in Hull died of hypothermia and co-related illnesses indicating which in the months November 1985 to April 1986.

Mrs. Currie

There were five deaths to pensioners registered in the Hull registration sub-district during that period, with any mention of hypothermia on the death certificate. This is irrespective of whether hypothermia did or did not appear as an underlying cause. (Pensioners are defined as males aged 65 years and over and females aged 60 years and over). From the material available it is not possible to identify deaths from co-related diseases.
