Of these:

Many thanks for this response.

I note that the figures for 'diagnosis' are broken down by site.

Most of the figures for 'diagnosis' are not given because they are low numbers -would it be possible to supply the totals for each diagnosis, across all sites? That way, the figures would be less likely to be low (and therefore could be published).

Do let me know,

Kind regards,
Claire Wilde
