As National Statistician, I have been asked to reply to your recent question concerning what the survival rate for patients with cancer at Bassetlaw Hospital was in each of the last 20 years. (201091)
Cancer survival rates are only available for specific cancers and hence do not indicate overall survival rates for all cancer patients. Rates are not available for individual hospitals, NHS Trusts or Primary Care Organisations. However, figures for the major cancer sites are available for current Strategic Health Authorities and were previously produced for the former Health Authorities.
The latest available one and five-year survival rates at the sub-national level are for patients 1 diagnosed during 1994–96 and followed up to 31 December 2001. These data are available for Trent strategic health authority, which contains Bassetlaw primary care trust.
Figures for earlier years were for North Nottinghamshire health authority (which included Bassetlaw Hospital). These covered: patients diagnosed during 1992–94 and followed up to the end of 1999,
