HC Deb 29 January 1974 vol 868 c63W
Mr. Whitlock

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what are the recognised establishments of nursing staffs in each of the hospitals of the new Nottinghamshire Area Health Authority; what are the numbers at present on

International Classification of Diseases (7th Rev.) Miners (Occupational Units 010–013) Other Industrial Workers (Occupational Units 014 and 015, and Occupational Orders III to XX)
(All occupations = 100)
001 Respiratory tuberculosis with mention of occupational disease of lung 1,235 86
410–416 Chronic rheumatic heart disease 125 106
500–502 Bronchitis 159 120
523–524 Pneumoconiosis 1,504 70
The data for calculating the underlying rates came from two sources: the registration of deaths, 1959–1963, and the 1961 Census of Population. The ratios should only be treated as general indicators in mortality comparisons as they are subject to a margin of error because they reflect the occupation reported at death which, for example, may not have been the deceased's main occupation during his life. Ratios based on the 1971 Census data are not yet available
