To whom it may concern,

I am requesting information under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 regarding the prevalence of pancreatic cancer within different groups of people within NHS England from 2013-2023 inclusive.

Please provide the number of people, per capita, who were diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in the following groups from 2013-2023 inclusive:
1. Those of different age groups. Ideally, these age groups would be 0–10 years old, 11–20 years old, 21–30 years old, et cetera.
2. Those of the different racial and ethnic groups used by NHS England.
3. Smokers and non-smokers.
4. Those who have a relative who has had pancreatic cancer before and those who do not.
5. Those who consume three or more units of alcohol per day on average and those who do not.
6. Those who are severely obese, obese, overweight, of a healthy weight, and underweight.
7. Those of the male sex and those of the female sex.
8. Those with a history of pancreatitis and those without a history of pancreatitis.
9. Those with diabetes and those who don't have diabetes.

10. Is any of the requested information available publicly online? Is any other information on pancreatic cancer rates in different groups available publicly online? If so, where can I find this information?

Thank you very much for your time and help.

Yours sincerely,
Leo Pritchard.
