Oracle SQL PLus Query,. spool output format

I've got a query that I wrote.. (I'm no DBA so it probably looks like crap) but it works... my only problem is how it outputs when I spool it in HTML.. it comes across as multiple tables, I would like it to be output in one table with multiple coloumns Columns rather than multiple tables with only one column each. could somebody please point me in the right direction ? (please!)

Thanks!

There are a couple of ways of doing this. The most performant way would be to combine all your queries into a single query such that the WHERE clause contains the conditions that appear in every statement i.e. "AND UPPER(patient.MY_GENDER)='F' etc.
You would then use a number of CASE statements in the SELECT to determine which values would be counted. This is possible because all queries are retrieving data from the same two tables.

Alternatively, you could use the query I've written below, which simply combines the existing queries into one large unioned statement and then wraps another query around it. It may not be the best in terms of performance but it is simple to do and additional queries (with different conditions, even different tables) can be easily added to it.

You will notice that although 7 expressions are retrieved by each select statement, each select statement only returns a value in one of those expressions; a different one for each query. These are then combined into a single row by the outer query performing a sum of each retrieved expression.

that looks exactly like what I want.. but for some reason I'm getting "SP2-0042: unknown command "UNION ALL" - rest of line ignored. " all through out the output.. and the stuff its showing for error's at line 12 and 25, doesn't actually exist on those lines.. and everything is ended properly as far as I can tell..
