For 1992 and earlier years, the number of deaths represents the deaths registered annually. Figures from 1993 onwards are those which occurred annually; prior to 1993, the date on which deaths were registered and occurred differed, e.g. a death on 31 December 1991 would probably have been registered in 1992.
