Health Statistics
Do you know that:
9% of men drink more than 51 units of alcohol per week;
the 5 year survival rate for cancer of the prostate is 77%;
28.2 million patients saw an NHS dentist in the 24 month period ending 31 December 2009;
11.278 million NHS sight tests were carried out in England last year?
The Library has updated our health statistics web page, bringing together international, national and local statistical web sites. If you are looking for information on the prevalence of a particular disease you may find this to be a useful resource.
