⁽¹⁾ Cause of death was defined using the International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision (ICD-9) codes 260-269 (malnutrition) and E904.1 (effects of hunger) for the year 2000, and the International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision (ICD-10) codes E40-E46 (malnutrition) and T73.0 (effects of hunger) for 2001 onwards. Deaths were included where one or more of these causes was mentioned anywhere on the death certificate. The introduction of ICD-10 in 2001 means that the numbers of deaths from these causes before 2001 are not completely comparable with later years. ⁽²⁾ Figures based on boundaries as of 2010. ⁽³⁾ Figures arc for deaths registered in the calendar years 2000-08 combined.

Government Departments: Data Sharing

Mr. Stewart Jackson: To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office what steps her Department is taking to facilitate data sharing between Government departments and agencies. [323962]

Mr. Wills: I have been asked to reply.

As part of 'Putting the frontline first: Smarter Government', the Ministry of Justice (MOJ) has been tasked with making it easier for public services to join up by establishing a set of common protocols and reviewing the legal framework that governs the way in which public services exchange information. MOJ is delivering on this objective through a variety of work streams, including:

revising the departmental 2003 legal guidance on data sharing;

developing Government guidance on privacy impact assessments;

liaising with the Information Commissioner's Office on its statutory code of practice on data sharing;

consulting other Government Departments on the further guidance and information sharing protocols they need; and

exploring in more detail the barriers to the exchange of information between public services, and how legislative and non-legislative options might reduce these barriers and ensure proportionate and lawful information exchange can take place to improve public services, while ensuring that individuals' personal data is protected.

The available information is provided in the attached table. The estimates are derived from the Labour Force Survey (LFS). The distinction between public and private sector is based on respondents' views about the organisation for which they work.

As with any sample survey, the estimates provided are subject to a margin of uncertainty.

⁽¹⁾ It should be noted that the private sector estimates are based on survey respondents' views about the organisation for which they work and therefore do not correspond to the National Accounts definition used to define Public and Private Sector Employment estimates. ⁽²⁾ Coefficients of Variation have been calculated as an indication of the quality of the estimates, as described below: Guide to Quality: The Coefficient of Variation (CV) indicates the quality of an estimate, the smaller the CV value the higher the quality. The true value is likely to lie within +/- twice the CV - for example, for an estimate of 200 with a CV of 5% we would expect the population total to be within the range 180-220. Key Coefficient of Variation (CV)(%) Statistical Robustness * 0 ≤ CV< 5 Estimates are considered precise 5 ≤ CV < 10 Estimates are considered reasonably precise * 10 ≤ CV < 20 Estimates are considered acceptable **** CV ≥ 20 Estimates are considered too unreliable for practical purposes Note: It should be noted that the above estimates exclude people in most types of communal establishment (e.g. hotels, boarding houses, hostels, mobile home sites etc.) Source: Labour Force Survey
