Thank you for your query regarding incidence rates for Osteosarcoma in the UK from 1980 to present.
Special extracts and tabulations of cancer data for England are available to order (subject to legal frameworks, disclosure control, resources and agreements of costs, where appropriate). 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. Please note that ONS only holds England cancer data, and not data for the whole of the UK.
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.
