Letter from Karen Dunnell, dated 11 December 2006:
As National Statistician, I have been asked to reply to your recent question asking what the (a) diagnosis and (b) mortality rate was for (i) chronic lung disease, (ii) coronary heart disease and (iii) cancer in each ward in Eastbourne constituency in each of the last 10 years. (105113)
Figures on the incidence of chronic lung disease and coronary heart disease are not readily available. Mortality and incidence rates are not available for parliamentary constituencies which do not share boundaries exactly with a local authority, or with any combination of whole wards; consequently, figures are given for Eastbourne local authority. The numbers of deaths and cancer registrations per year in each ward in Eastbourne local authority are too small for the reliable calculation of rates.
The attached tables provide (a) the age-standardised cancer incidence rate in Eastbourne local authority for the years 1995 to 2004 (the latest available), and (b) the age-standardised mortality rates for (i) chronic lung disease, (ii) coronary heart disease and (iii) cancer in Eastbourne local authority for the years 1996 to 2005 (the latest available).

Age-standardised rates are used to allow comparison between populations which may contain different proportions of people of different ages.2 Cause of death was defined using the International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision (ICD-9) for 1996 to 2000 (codes 490-494 and 496 for chronic lung disease, 410-414 for coronary heart disease, 140-208 for cancer), and Tenth Revision (ICD-10) for 2001 to 2005 (codes J40-J47 for chronic lung disease, I20-I25 for coronary heart disease, C00-C97 excluding C44 for cancer). The introduction of ICD-10 in 2001 means that the number of deaths from each cause before 2001 are not completely comparable with later years.3 Using local authority boundaries as of 2005 for deaths for all years shown.
