In 2007 the number of deaths attributable to asthma, heart failure and diabetes in Western Australia were 30, 66 and 371 respectively. Death data is available for only 2007 as the data for 2008 and 2009 is not yet available from the Australian Bureau of Statistics. (2) The top 10 leading causes of death in children aged 0–14 years in 2007 were certain conditions originating in the perinatal period; congenital malformations, deformations and chromosomal abnormalities; unknown causes of morbidity and mortality; abnormal findings and ill-defined conditions; transport accidents; brain cancer; accidental drowning; leukaemia; interpersonal violence; and fire, burns and scalds.
