The Mesothelioma register is the most important one, and so we focus on it here. Only deaths in Great Britain from mesothelioma are included in the register. They are used to complement and check the completeness of OPCS and GRO data. For a majority of cases, however, the only documentation received is the death certificate. Since computerization in 1976 the databank has been continuously updated.
