Mr. Mackinlay

To ask the Secretary of State for Health in what form figures exist for the incidence of coronary heart disease broken down to local authority districts or wards; and if she will publish the number of cases for both men and women in each local authority district or ward over the past five years.

Mr. Sackville

Mr. Mackinlay

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if she will publish the number of cases of coronary heart disease for both men and women for each health district within the North East Thames region over the past five years.

Mr. Sackville

Due to boundary changes in 1991, figures for Islington are no longer available separately.
