Mr. Lansley: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what the death rate from (a) stroke, (b) heart disease, stroke and related illnesses and (c) all cancers was among (i) people aged 65 years and under, (ii) people aged 75 years and under and (iii) all people, in each year since 1977. [150400]
Angela Eagle: The information requested falls within the responsibility of the National Statistician, who has been asked to reply.
Letter from Colin Mowl, dated 18 July 2007:
The National Statistician has been asked to reply to your recent question asking what the death rate from (a) stroke, (b) heart disease, stroke and related illnesses and (c) all cancers was among (i) people aged 65 years and under, (ii) people aged 75 years and under and (iii) all people, in each year since 1977. I am replying in her absence. (150400)
The latest year for which figures are available is 2005. The table below shows age-standardised mortality rates from 1977 to 2005 for (a) stroke, (b) all circulatory diseases, and (c) cancer, for people aged under 65, under 75, and all ages.

(1) Rate per million population, age-standardised to the European Standard Population. (2) Selected using International Classification of Diseases, Eighth Revision (ICD-8) codes for the years 1977 to 1978, Ninth Revision (ICD-9) codes for the years 1979 to 2000, and Tenth Revision (ICD-10) codes for the years 2001 to 2005. The codes selected are listed as follows: StrokeICD-8 430-438; ICD-9 430-438; ICD-10 I60-I69 All circulatory diseasesICD-8 390-444.1, 444.4-458.9, 782; ICD-9 390-459; ICD-10 I00-I99 Cancer (all malignant neoplasms)ICD-8 140-207; ICD-9 140-208; ICD-10 C00-C97 Between 1984 and 1992, a different interpretation of the World Health Organization selection Rule 3 was used to select the underlying cause of death in England and Wales, to that used internationally. This change means that comparisons between this period, and years before and after, should be interpreted with caution. The impact of the change on mortality statistics was analysed and reported in annual mortality publications for 1984 and 1993-94 (notes 1 and 2) . The introduction of ICD-10 for coding cause of death in 2001 also means that figures are not comparable with data for years before this date. Comparisons between the data before and after 2001 should therefore also be interpreted with caution. Articles specifically examining the effects of the change in classification for circulatory disease and cancer trends were published in Health Statistics Quarterly 22 and Health Statistics Quarterly 23 (notes 3 and 4). More information about these changes, as well as the results of the study, can be found on the National Statistics website at www.statistics.gov.uk/icd10mortality.
