I have been asked to reply on behalf of the Cabinet Office.The information requested falls within the responsibility of the UK Statistics Authority. I have asked the authority to reply.Letter from Stephen Penneck, dated March 2012:"As Director General for the Office for National Statistics, I have been asked to reply to your Parliamentary Question, asking how many people have been diagnosed with a disease that is characterised by (a) excessive and (b) insufficient angiogenesis in the latest period for which figures are available [102919].""It is well established in the published medical literature that angiogenesis plays a key role in the growth and spread of cancer. However, excessive and insufficient angiogenesis is not routinely recorded on individual cancer registrations and therefore the information requested is not available as a National Statistic.""The latest published figures on the incidence of cancer in England are available on the National Statistics website at:""http://www.ons.gov.uk/ons/publications/all-releases.html?definition=tcm%3A77-27451" |
