Request
Please may I be provided with the number of people living with and beyond a blood cancer diagnosis on 31 December 2022, who were diagnosed since 01 January 2003, similar to figures provided by NHS England/NDRS (https://nhsd-ndrs.shinyapps.io/prevalence/). 20-year prevalence data is currently available from Public Health Scotland for diagnoses between 2004 and 2023 for separate blood cancer types, but not for blood cancer combined. I would instead like an all-blood cancers 20-year prevalence statistic for those diagnosed between 2003-2022 (to align with data available / requested from the other UK nations).
To clarify, I would like to be provided with the observed 20-year prevalence of blood cancer in Scotland from 2003-2022. If possible, please could this figure also include D code blood cancers (D45-D47) so that blood cancer is defined as C81-C96 and D45-D47. However, if this is not possible, please could blood cancer be defined as C81-C96.
