answer text: The information requested falls within the responsibility of the UK Statistics Authority. I have asked the authority to reply.Letter from Karen Dunnell, dated May 2008:"As National Statistician I have been asked to reply to your recent Parliamentary Question asking what the age standardised incidence of prostate cancer was in (a) spearhead primary care trusts and (b) England in the latest period for which figures are available. [206401]""The spearhead group is defined in terms of local authorities. Spearhead primary care organisations (PCOs) are those which overlap geographically with any of the area defined by the spearhead local authorities. For most, the whole of the PCO area overlaps with the spearhead local authorities, but some only partially overlap.""The attached table presents age standardised incidence rates and the number of registrations of prostate cancer in England and in the spearhead group. Figures are also presented for each PCO overlapping with the spearhead group. All figures are for 2005, the latest year available. An estimate of the percentage of the PCO population in the spearhead group in 2002 is also shown." Table 1.
