IPAS has a policy on the recording and reporting of deaths of residents in International Protection Accommodation Service (IPAS) centres, and as part of that policy, IPAS publishes resident death statistics on a biannual basis with the most recent publication in June 2022 and the next publication due in December 2022.
This information is available on the IPAS website and can be found at the following link:

I trust this information clarifies the matter Deputy.
