Letter from Karen Dunnell, dated 19 November 2007:
As National Statistician, I have been asked to reply to your recent Parliamentary Question asking how many people have (a) been diagnosed with and (b) died from lung cancer in (i) Jarrow constituency, (ii) South Tyneside, (iii) the North East and (iv) the UK in each year since 1997. (165400)
The latest available figures for (a) newly diagnosed cases of cancer (incidence) are for the year 2004 (United Kingdom). Numbers of cases of lung cancer for the years 1997 to 2004 for (i) Jarrow Parliamentary Constituency, (ii) South Tyneside County District, (iii) North East Government Office Region and (iv) United Kingdom are given in Table 1 below.
The latest available figures for (b) deaths are for the year 2006. Numbers of deaths from lung cancers for the years 1997 to 2006 for (i) Jarrow Parliamentary Constituency, (ii) South Tyneside County District, (iii) North East Government Office Region and (iv) United Kingdom are given in Table 2 below.

1 Lung cancer is defined as code C33-C34 in the International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision (ICD-10). Sources: 1. Office for National Statistics. 2. Welsh Cancer Intelligence and Surveillance Unit. 3. Scottish Cancer Registry, National Health Service in Scotland. 4. Northern Ireland Cancer Registry. |

(1) Cause of death was defined using the International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision (ICD-9) code 162 for the years 1997 to 2000, and Tenth Revision (ICD-10) codes C33-C34 for subsequent years. The introduction of ICD-10 means that the numbers of deaths from cancer before 2001 are not completely comparable with later years. (2) Figures are for deaths registered in each calendar year. Notes: 1. UK figures include deaths of non-residents in Scotland and Northern Ireland, but not in England and Wales. 2. UK figures for 2006 include figures for Northern Ireland which are provisional until the publication of the Registrar General Annual Report in December 2007. Source: Office for National Statistics. |
