asked the Minister for Health the number of people, male and female, in each county in the past five years who have been certified as having died from cancer; the percentage of the population in each county over the same period who have died; and the percentage increase/decrease per capita in each county over the same period.
Written Answers. - Cancer Deaths.
I presume that the Deputy is referring to deaths from cancer throughout the question. As the answer is in the form of a tabular statement, I propose to circulate it in the Official Report.
Following is the statement:
