§ Mr. RedmondTo ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will list by year for the last eight years, for each regional health authority, the number of people who have died from AIDS; and if he will show in his answer, their sex and age by categories(a) aged under 20 years, (b) aged 20 to 30 years, (c) aged 31 to 40 years, (d) aged 41 to 50 years and (e) aged over 50 years.
§ Mrs. Virginia BottomleyIn line with the procedure followed in reports under the AIDS (Control) Act, to safeguard confidentiality numbers below 10 in tables showing AIDS data are represented by an asterisk. A table showing the breakdown requested would include so many asterisks that it would be uninformative. The data have therefore been aggregated to some extent.
