Letter from Karen Dunnell, dated 4 December 2006:
As National Statistician, I have been asked to reply to your recent question asking what the mortality rate was of (a) men and(b) women in Tamworth in each year since 1991. (107022)
Mortality rates for parliamentary constituencies which do not share boundaries exactly with a local authority can be calculated only from 2001 onwards. The table below provides the age-standardised mortality rate for (a) men and (b) women in Tamworth parliamentary constituency for the years 2001 to 2004 (the latest available).
The ward population estimates on which these mortality rates are based are experimental statistics—that is, statistics which are in a testing or consultation phase and are not fully developed—and the figures should therefore be treated with caution.

(3) The ward population estimates used to calculate these mortality rates are experimental statistics, and are consistent with the published local authority mid-year estimates for the relevant year. | ||
Mr. Jenkins: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what the (a) diagnosis and (b) mortality rate was for (i) chronic lung disease, (ii) coronary heart disease and (iii) cancer in each ward in Tamworth constituency in each of the last 15 years. [107032]
John Healey: The information requested falls within the responsibility of the National Statistician who has been asked to reply.
Letter from Karen Dunnell, dated 4 December 2006:
As National Statistician, I have been asked to reply to your recent question asking what the (a) diagnosis and (b) mortality rate was for (i) chronic lung disease, (ii) coronary heart disease and (iii) cancer in each ward in Tamworth constituency in each of the last 15 years. (107032)
Figures on the incidence of chronic lung disease and coronary heart disease are not readily available. The numbers of deaths and cancer registrations per year in each ward in Tamworth parliamentary constituency are too small for the reliable calculation of rates. Mortality and incidence rates for parliamentary constituencies which do not share boundaries exactly with a local authority can be calculated only from 2001 onwards.
The tables below provide (a) the age-standardised cancer incidence rate, and (b) the age-standardised mortality rates for (i) chronic lung disease, (ii) coronary heart disease and (iii) cancer in Tamworth parliamentary constituency for the years 2001 to 2004 (the latest available).
The ward population estimates on which these rates are based are experimental statistics—that is, statistics which are in a testing or consultation phase and are not fully developed—and the figures should therefore be treated with caution.
