The trust, which runs the John Radcliffe Hospital, Churchill, Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre and Banbury's Horton General Hospital, has reported 164 deaths.

Another death was reported for Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust, which runs the county's community hospitals, taking the total fatalities there to 22.

As the trust also runs services in other counties, it is not possible to know how many of these deaths were in Oxfordshire.
