To ask the Scottish Government when data on cancer mortality by deprivation levels will be published.
Public Health Scotland (PHS) published the annual update to cancer mortality statistics in Scotland on 27 January 2026. Cancer mortality deprivation data has not been published due to the lack of available census data. Once the population data required for this analysis is available, PHS will pre-announce the publication.
The contents and timings of statistical publications are at the discretion of PHS who are independent of the Scottish Government.
