HC Deb 03 March 1992 vol 205 c134W
Mr. Barry Jones

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales how many people develop cancer annually and are treated by(a) radiotherapy and (b) chemotherapy.

Mr. Nicholas Bennett

The latest available information about the number of usual residents of Wales who have developed cancer is given in the table:

£ million
Gwynedd 3,823
Mid Glamorgan 5.984
Powys 2.194
South Glamorgan 4.652
West Glamorgan 3.782
Total 36.117

These allocations will enable an average of 3 per cent. real terms improvement on committed investment for this year in respect of premises and staff; and improve and underpin the targets for GP computing levels.
