Answer
Answered by Minister for Health and Social Services
Welsh Government does not hold this data centrally.
Digital Health and Care Wales publish data from the Patient Episode Database for Wales (PEDW) on an annual basis, including data on lung cancer.
The Welsh Cancer Intelligence and Surveillance unit (WCISU) within Public Health Wales (PHW) publish data relating to cancer incidence in Wales on their website, which includes data by cancer type and stage at diagnosis.
