1. More than one drug may be reported per death. These are mentions of each drug, and should not be added to give total deaths.
Up to 2007, some pathologists reported only those drugs which they thought caused, or contributed to, the death
With effect from 2008, pathologists were asked to report all the drugs which were found to be present in the body.
There may be other differences between years and/or areas in the way in which the information was produced - see Section 2.
2. See paragraph 3.3.1 of commentary.
