§ Mr. Parkasked the Secretary of State for Social Services how many women have died of cervical cancer in Coventry in each of the last five years; and how this compares to the United Kingdom average.
§ Mr. HayhoeThe numbers of deaths to women usually resident in Coventry with an underlying cause of death of malignant neoplasm of cervix uteri (ICD(9) 180) in each of the last five years are shown in the table. Allowing for differences in age distribution, the incidence of death from cervical cancer has been on average 1 per cent. higher in Coventry than in the United Kingdom as a whole over this period. The Coventry results are based on very small numbers and from year to year fluctuate above and below the United Kingdom average.
