HC Deb 29 April 1986 vol 96 c386W
Mr. Best

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if, further to the answer to the hon. Member for Southend, East (Mr. Taylor) of 15 April, Official Report, column 371, he will give the equivalent figures for Ynys Môn for each year from 1962.

Mr. Whitney

The readily available information is given in the table. It should be remembered that the numbers of deaths from myeloid leukaemia are small and the number in any particular area may fluctuate considerably from year to year. No great significance should therefore be attached to the rate for any particular area in just one year.

Ynys Môn (Anglesey) Number of deaths from Myeloid Leukaemia

(ICD* (7) 204.1, ICD* (8 and 9) 205), estimated population

and crude death rate, persons 1962 to 1984
