Original Request

Hi, I am a 3rd-year student nurse on the IOM, and I am doing my dissertation on end-of-life care linking to the need to promote mouth care in end-of-life care. Supplemental to our dissertation, we have to provide a mock business case, which I need to justify why my proposed service improvement would be beneficial etc. For this, I need to provide numerical data to show how my proposed service improvement would influence the population of the IOM. Therefore, please could I be provided with the total number of deaths in Nobles Hospital in 2024? If 2024 data is not available, please could you confirm this, and provide 2023 data? Thank you.
