Dear Baroness Kennedy,<\/p>
<\/p>
As National Statistician and Chief Executive of the UK Statistics Authority, I am replying to your Parliamentary Question asking how many people have died from mesothelioma in each year from 2010 to the last year for which figures are available (HL16256)<\/strong>.<\/p> <\/p> The Office for National Statistics is responsible for publishing statistics on deaths registered in England and Wales. The most recent figures published are for deaths registered in 2017[1].<\/p> <\/p> Cause of death is defined using the International Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, 10 edition (ICD-10). The underlying cause of death is defined by the World Health Organisation as (a) the disease or injury that initiated the train of events directly leading to death, (b) the circumstances of the accident or violence that produced the fatal injury.<\/p> <\/p> Deaths due to an underlying cause of mesothelioma would be assigned the ICD-10 code C45.<\/p> <\/p> Table 1 below provides the numbers of deaths from mesothelioma registered in England and Wales between 2010 and 2017.<\/p> <\/p> <\/p> Yours sincerely,<\/p> John Pullinger<\/strong><\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> Table 1:<\/strong> Number of deaths with an underlying cause of mesothelioma, persons, England and Wales, 2010 to 2017[2]<\/strong>,[3]<\/strong>,[4]<\/strong>,[5]<\/strong><\/sup><\/strong><\/p> <\/p> Year<\/strong><\/p><\/td> 2010<\/strong><\/p><\/td> 2011<\/strong><\/p><\/td> 2012<\/strong><\/p><\/td> 2013<\/strong><\/p><\/td> 2014<\/strong><\/p><\/td> 2015<\/strong><\/p><\/td> 2016<\/strong><\/p><\/td> 2017<\/strong><\/p><\/td><\/tr> Deaths<\/p><\/td> 2,079<\/p><\/td> 2,101<\/p><\/td> 2,214<\/p><\/td> 2,261<\/p><\/td> 2,356<\/p><\/td> 2,308<\/p><\/td> 2,313<\/p><\/td> 2,279<\/p><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table> <\/p> Source:<\/em> Office for National Statistics<\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> Year<\/p><\/td> £ per annum<\/p><\/td><\/tr> 2010-11<\/p><\/td> 20,275<\/p><\/td><\/tr> 2011-12<\/p><\/td> 20,150<\/p><\/td><\/tr> 2012-13<\/p><\/td> 19,970<\/p><\/td><\/tr> 2013-14<\/p><\/td> 19,925<\/p><\/td><\/tr> 2014-15<\/p><\/td> 19,885<\/p><\/td><\/tr> 2015-16<\/p><\/td> 20,290<\/p><\/td><\/tr> 2016-17<\/p><\/td> 20,670<\/p><\/td><\/tr> 2017-18<\/p><\/td> 20,400<\/p><\/td><\/tr> 2018-19<\/p><\/td> 20,185<\/p><\/td><\/tr> 2019-20<\/p><\/td> 20,135<\/p><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table> <\/p> The table above is true for a family with a particular set of circumstances. On average real household disposable income per person is 6.7% higher than at the start of 2010 \u2013 meaning people have more money to spend than they did in 2010. Since unemployment has fallen 48% since 2010, families are also significantly more likely to have at least one person in work now than in 2010.<\/p> <\/p> The government has introduced policies to increase take home pay since 2010 including;<\/p> <\/p> Increasing the Work Allowance in Universal Credit by £1000 from April 2019. This would provide up to an additional £630 per year for households with children and for people with disabilities;<\/p> <\/p><\/li> Doubling the amount of free childcare available to working parents of 3 and 4 year olds, saving families using the full 30 hours around £5,000 per year. This is in combination with increasing the amount that working families can claim back in childcare to 85% of their registered childcare costs each month under UC, compared to 70% on the legacy system. For families with two children this could be worth up to £13,000 a year;<\/p><\/li><\/ul> <\/p> Increasing the Marriage Allowance from £1,190 in 2018-19 to £1,250 in 2019-20. The benefit is therefore worth up to £250 in 2019-20. It will continue to increase each time the Personal Allowance is increased.<\/p><\/li><\/ul>"}
