As National Statistician, I have been asked to reply to your recent Parliamentary Question asking how many people were diagnosed with (a) breast cancer and (b) other cancers in (i) Jarrow constituency, (ii) South Tyneside, (iii) the North East and (iv) England and Wales in each year since 1997 [296144].

The latest available numbers for newly diagnosed cases of cancer (incidence) are for the year 2006. Please note that these numbers may not be the same as the number of people diagnosed with cancer, because one person may be diagnosed with more than one cancer.

Table 1 provides the numbers of (a) newly diagnosed cases of breast cancer from 1997 to 2006 in (i) Jarrow parliamentary constituency, (ii) South Tyneside local authority district, (iii) North East government office region and (iv) England and Wales.

Table 2 provides the numbers of (b) newly diagnosed cases of all cancers from 1997 to 2006 in (i) Jarrow parliamentary constituency, (ii) South Tyneside local authority district, (iii) North East government office region and (iv) England and Wales. Numbers relating to 'all' cancers have been provided because it cannot be definitively stated that a diagnosed case of an 'other' cancer is not in a person also diagnosed with breast cancer.
