Letter from Stephen Penneck, dated 28 January 2010:
As Director General for the Office for National Statistics, I have been asked to reply to your recent question asking what the five year survival rate for patients treated for (a) lung, (b) kidney and (c) liver cancer at Musgrove Park Hospital, Taunton was at the latest date for which figures are available. [314307]
Cancer survival rates are not routinely available for patients treated in individual hospitals.
One-year survival figures for three cancers (breast, colorectal and lung) by primary care trust have recently been published by the Department of Health in the second annual report of the Cancer Reform Strategy. The report can be downloaded from this link:
