Mortality Rates

Answer

The information requested falls within the responsibility of the National Statistician, who has been asked to reply.Letter from Colin Mowl, dated 21 November 2006:"The National Statistician has been asked to reply to your recent question asking what the mortality rate was of (a) men and (b) women in Worsley in each year since 1991. I am replying in her absence. (101182)""Mortality rates for parliamentary constituencies which do not share boundaries exactly with a local authority are only available from 2001 onwards. The table below provides the age-standardised mortality rate for (a) men and (b) women in Worsley parliamentary constituency for the years 2001 to 2004 (the latest available).""The ward population estimates on which these mortality rates are based are experimental statistics - that is, statistics which are in a testing or consultation phase and are not fully developed - and the figures should therefore be treated with caution."
