The cancer death rate is one which is influenced greatly by the age of the population and, hence, the factor which has been given this year by the Registrar-General for the general death of the County could be applied probably with some degree of fairness to this rate. If this were done it would have the effect of lowering the rate from 1.54 to 1.29, which is lower than any death rate for England and Wales since 1929. The reason for the fall is the lower number of deaths amongst males. The figure for females is much as it has been for the last five years.
