As National Statistician I have been asked to reply to your recent Parliamentary Questions asking (1) what the clinical outcomes were for (a) female cancers and (b) male cancers in each cancer network in each year since 2001 and (2) what the clinical outcomes were for (a) upper gastro-intestinal, (b) urological, (c) head and neck, (d) breast, (e) lung, (f) prostate, (g) stomach, (h) colon and (i) bowel cancer in each cancer network in each year since 2001. (63668 & 63670)
Nationally comparable survival rates are available for England, Government Office Regions, and Strategic Health Authorities (but not for other areas such as cancer networks). The latest available figures are one-and five-year relative rates for patients (aged 1599) diagnosed in 199597 and followed up to the end of 2002. These can be found on the National Statistics website at the address below, for the following cancer sites: bladder, colon, lung, oesophagus and stomach (for both sexes), breast and cervix (for females), and prostate (for males). http://www.statistics.gov.uk/StatBase/Product.asp?vlnk=11991&Pos=4&ColRank= 1&Rank=272
These figures are also available on the Clinical and Health Outcomes Knowledge Base at: http://www.nchod.nhs.uk/

Mr. Amess: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what the average earnings of (a) full-time and (b) part-time employees in Southend, West constituency were in April in each year since 1997. [64196]
John Healey: The information requested falls within the responsibility of the National Statistician who has been asked to reply.
Letter from Karen Dunnell, dated 19 April 2006:
As National Statistician, I have been asked to reply to your recent Parliamentary Question to ask what the average earnings of a) full-time and b) part-time employees in Southend West constituency were in April in each year since 1997. (64196)
Average earnings are estimated from the Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings (ASHE), and are provided for employees on adult rates whose pay for the survey period was not affected by absence. This is the standard definition used for ASHE. The ASHE does not collect data on the self employed and people who do unpaid work.
I attach tables showing Average Gross Weekly Earnings by parliamentary constituency for the years 1997 to 2005 for full-time and part-time employees on adult rates. These statistics are already published on the National Statistics website at: http://www.statistics.gov.uk/StatBase/Product.asp?vlnk=13101.
The ASHE, carried out in April of each year, is the most comprehensive source of earnings information in the United Kingdom. It is a one per cent sample of all employees who are members of pay-as-you-earn (PAYE) schemes.
