HC Deb 15 May 1985 vol 79 cc158-61W
Mr. Weetch

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services how many people have died of leukaemia in each health district of the East Anglian regional health authority in each of the last 10 years; and how these figures break down by age and sex.

Mr. John Patten

The information is given in the tables. Due to reorganisation of the National Health Service, the areas shown for 1975–80 are not conterminous with those for the later years, and hence the figures for the two periods are not comparable.
