Since an urgent review of how deaths were recorded last week cut more than 5,000 from the data, local death figures have been removed from the government dashboard.

It means the changes have not been reflected in local figures.

National death figures had returned to the dashboard at the time of publication, however, regional figures still had not appeared.
