Mr. John Patten

[pursuant to his reply, 30 April 1985, c. 114]: The information is given in the table.

The figures for 1984 are not comparable with earlier years, because of a change in coding following a rule of the World Health Organisation. In 1984 some deaths previously coded to bronchopneumonia have been allocated to other chronic conditions mentioned on the certificate.
