Post-Christmas update to English hospital deaths. Headline reported total 365.
5-day reporting total is down from 293 to 235 (for 24 Dec) but Christmas reporting means it may not give a like-for-like comparison as there is probably more backdating to come than usual.

And here is the trend in the 5-day reporting total for the past month. 7-day average is down a bit up to 24 Dec but likely due to slower reporting than normal over Christmas.
And here are the regional trends for English hospital deaths for the last month using the 5-day reporting totals (up to 24 Dec). Again, falls in most recent days may be probably explained by Christmas reporting ...
... that said, note deaths started increasing again around 7-11th Dec, i.e. relating to infections *during lockdown*. Any lockdown-lifting effect should have started to appear in the data by now. No indication of any surge yet, though it may be masked by Christmas reporting.
