§ Mr. MackinlayTo ask the Secretary of State for Health what proportion of deaths among(a) men and (b) women in each of the last five years were a consequence of stress-related diseases.
§ Mr. BowisInformation on death certificates about causes of death is given in terms of diagnosis. Stress may be a contributory factor in deaths from a number of diseases, but is not a separate diagnostic category. It is therefore not possible to say what proportion of deaths from any disease are stress related.
