Dear Sir or Madam,

Could I get the number of people who received any chemotherapy in 2008.

Yours faithfully,

Robert Clark

I write to clarify the request that you have submitted. We need you to
define either what is meant by chemotherapy , which diseases you are
interested in and whether you require figures for inpatients , outpatients
or both. Chemotherapy as a term applies to all drugs so that would be
about 99% of all our patients.

Your request is now placed On Hold pending further information from you.

Our Reference FOI - 445
