Pernicious Anæmia (Deaths).

HC Deb 28 July 1942 vol 382 cc350-1W

Mr. Leach

asked the Minister of Health how many deaths were registered from pernicious anæmia in 1939, 1940 and 1941?

Mr. E. Brown

The number of deaths from pernicious anæmia registered in England and Wales in 1939, 1940 and 1941 were:

1939	…	…	1,922
1940	…	…	2,167
1941	…	…	2,422

The figures for 1939 are corrected to agree with the 1940 classification of deaths and differ from those published in the Registrar-General's Statistical Review, Part I, Table 6.
