FOI 2024 070 - Respiritory complaints and deaths in Pontypridd

 

Information Requested:

i am requesting the stats for the last 10 years on people being diagnosed with respiritory complaints and data with deaths, in Glyncoch, Pontypridd. 

This is due to high public concern on the current expansion of Hanson/Heidelberg quarry Craig Yr Hesg, Pontypridd. 

It would be beneficial for data on asthma, chrons, cancers with deaths that teh CYH quarry may have had a contributing factor. Please send data with figures v the nation average.
