According to The Freedom of Information (FOI) Act 2000, I believe I am allowed to request data for the cases of mouth cancer, specifically the following C00-C06, C09-C10, C12-C14 types over the period from 13.07.21 to 13.07.22.
I specifically need:
• Total cases of mouth cancer in the last year (total, age, gender, site of cancer, LA/city/county)
• Total deaths of mouth cancer in the last year (total, age, gender, site of cancer, LA/city/county)
Thank you for your recent request dated 01 August 2022.
Data for 2021 cancer incidence is not available yet, as cancer registrations are still being collated and therefore the information is not currently held by Public Health Wales. Latest incidence is available on our website.
For the mortality part of the request we would suggest you contact the Office of National Statistic. Public Health Wales are users of mortality data and ONS are the owners of the data.
