3. The number of people who died as a result of having pancreatic cancer each year in this period.
4. The median number of people who have died as a result of having pancreatic cancer per year in this period.

9. The percentage of patients diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in this period who have died as a result of having the disease.
10. Is any of the information I requested available publicly online? Are any other related statistics or information on pancreatic cancer cases in NHS England available publicly online? If so, where can I find this information?
