Ethnicity of the deceased person
Since the start of 2012, the ethnicity of the deceased person has been collected, on a voluntary basis, when a death is registered in Scotland.
The pages in this section of the website provide links to the published tables of results and to some presentations (which provided some results along with background information about the collection of the data), describe how the information should be collected, assess the quality of the data, and supply some further background to the collection of the information.
