Letter from Karen Dunnell, dated July 2009:
and (2) what the five-year survival rate for cases of brain cancer in each primary care trust within the ceremonial county of Hampshire was in each of the last six years [288891].
The Office for National Statistics (ONS) does not produce five-year survival rates for brain cancer for (1) strategic health authorities or (2) primary care organisations.
