Thank you for your query regarding breast cancer statistics.

Such enquiries should be made to: cancer.newport@ons.gov.uk. We recommend that you contact the Cancer Analysis team directly in order to discuss your data requirements in more detail.
As this information is already available to you via this route ONS considers that S21(1) applies to this request and the information does not have to be supplied under the terms of the Freedom of Information Act. S21(1) is an absolute exemption and no consideration of the public interest test needs to be applied.
