Letter from John Pullinger CB, National Statistician, to Lord Maginnis of Drumglas , dated 3 May 2018.<\/strong><\/p> <\/p> Dear Lord Maginnis,<\/p> <\/p> As National Statistician and Chief Executive of the UK Statistics Authority, I am responding to your Parliamentary Question asking, further to the Written Answer by Lord Young of Cookham on 30 April (HL6934), when the Office for National Statistics expects to be able to produce regional price indices, including for Northern Ireland (HL7465)<\/strong>.<\/p> <\/p> The Office for National Statisitcs (ONS) commissioned the University of Southampton to produce a feasibility study into producing price indices for all the Government Office Regions, including Northern Ireland, using current price and expenditure data. The results of this research were published in November 2017[1]. Following this publication, we have further commissioned University of Southampton to continue the study. While still underway, initial findings of the study suggest that we will be unable to produce reliable regional price indices without a significant increase in the price sample for this area, which would be costly. We expect the study to be completed by December 2018.<\/p> <\/p> We are actively pursuing access to retailers' transactional databases as part of our work exploring alternative data sources for consumer price statistics under the Digital Economy Act\u2019s framework to access data for statistical purposes. At such a time as we receive access to these data we will have a sufficiently detailed data source to explore more reliable regional consumer price statistics; however, our timescales are dependent on when retailers might provide us with such data.<\/p> <\/p> Yours sincerely, <\/strong><\/p> [1] Feasibility study into producing CPIH consistent inflation rates for UK regions<\/a><\/p>"}

I have asked the Authority to reply.<\/p> <\/p> Letter from John Pullinger CB, National Statistician, to The Countess of Mar, dated 3 May 2018.<\/strong><\/p> <\/p> Dear Lady Mar,<\/p> <\/p> As National Statistician and Chief Executive of the UK Statistics Authority, I am replying to your Parliamentary Question asking what were the incidence rates of cervical cancer among (1) 18-49 year old women, and (2) women over the age of 50, in England for each year since 2011 (HL7466)<\/strong>.<\/p> <\/p> The Office for National Statistics (ONS), in collaboration with Public Health England, publishes the number of cancer cases registered (incidence) in England in each calendar year, as part of its Cancer Statistics Registrations, England (Series MB1) release. The latest available cancer incidence data published by ONS are provisional figures for 2016[1]. The provisional 2016 release does not contain a refreshed back series of cancer incidence, which would consider the continual accrual of late registrations. Therefore, the historic figures (from 2011 to 2015) below are based on the 2015 National Statistics release[2].<\/p> <\/p> Cervical cancer is defined using International Classification of Diseases, 10th<\/sup> edition (ICD-10) code C53 (malignant neoplasm of cervix uteri). Table 1<\/strong> overleaf provides the number and rate of women diagnosed cases of cervical cancer, (ICD-10: C53) by age group, in England from 2011 to 2016.<\/p> <\/p> While ONS does not hold cancer incidence data for Northern Ireland, Scotland or Wales, similar figures are published by the Northern Ireland Cancer Registry[3], the Scottish Cancer Registry[4] and the Welsh Cancer Intelligence and Surveillance Unit[5], respectively.<\/p> <\/p> <\/p> Yours sincerely,<\/p> <\/p> John Pullinger <\/strong><\/p> <\/p>
