§ Mr. Alfred MorrisTo ask the Secretary of State for Health, pursuant to his answer to the right hon. Member for Manchester, Wythenshawe,Official Report, 12 December 1989, column 631, what is his estimate of the cost of producing the requested information on the number of deaths from neuroblastoma.
§ Mr. Freeman[holding answer 14 March 1990]: Approximately £1,600. National mortality statistics do not routinely identify neuroblastoma as a cause of death, and this figure represents the estimated staff cost of identifying and extracting this information from the death certificates of all children who have died from cancer.
