Mr. Robin Cook : To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will publish the agendas, papers and lists of participants for the meetings organised by his Department on the subject of National Health Service trusts on 23-24 October, 14-15 December and 22-23 January.

Mrs. Virginia Bottomley : No.

Income Generation Unit

Mr. Harry Barnes : To ask the Secretary of State for Health what representations he has received in the past year on the work of the income generation unit.

Mr. Freeman : None.


Column 26

Hospital Attendance (Funding)

Mr. Andrew F. Bennett : To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will make a statement about funding arrangements for patients in Denton and Reddish who wish to attend hospitals in Manchester rather than Stockport or Tameside.

Mr. Freeman : General practitioners in Denton and Reddish, as elsewhere, are able without restriction to refer patients to consultants working in hospitals in Manchester and no funds are transferred between district health authorities as a result. Special financial arrangements have been made over access to the regional health authority funded lithotripter service in south Manchester.

Nurseries

Mr. Chris Smith : To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many children attend private and public nurseries ; and what is the income distribution of their parents.

Mrs. Virginia Bottomley : The information available centrally about the total provision relates to the number of places in local authority and in registered voluntary and private day nurseries. This information is published annually in "Children's Day Care Facilities at 31 March", copies of which are available in the Library. No information is available centrally about the income of parents.

Foster Care

Mr. Alex Carlile : To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he has proposals for changes in the foster care system specifically aimed at putting an end to the high incidence of child abuse ; and if he will make a statement.

Mrs. Virginia Bottomley : Foster parents are a valuable community resource who at times have to look after very difficult children. They need adequate support and supervision. The small numbers of recent tragic cases does not lead us to believe that the incidence of child abuse by foster parents is high. The regulatory framework has been tightened up with the introduction of the Boarding Out of Children (Foster Placement) Regulations 1988, which came into force on 1 June 1989. Copies of the regulations can be found in the Library. Implementation of the Children Act will be accompanied by new regulations and guidance to local authorities on a number of foster care issues.

Food Poisoning

Mr. Hardy : To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many deaths occurred in 1989 which were attributed to food poisoning.

Mr. Freeman : The provisional number of deaths for which food poisoning was stated as the underlying cause in England and Wales in the first nine months of 1989 was 40.

General Practitioners

Mr. Fatchett : To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many applications he has received for the establishment of fund-holding practices from general practitioners' practices in Leeds.

Mrs. Virginia Bottomley : Formal applications cannot be made until there is legislative provision for fund holding. Practices have been invited to return forms to their RHAs registering their interest in fund holding. We do not have details of the numbers of interested practices in individual FPCs.

Paramedic Skills

Mr. Bradley : To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many people are trained nationally in paramedic skills to the National Health Service training authority standard ; and how many to the National Health Service modular scheme standard.

Mrs. Virginia Bottomley : There are about 2,000 ambulance staff who hold the full NHSTA Certificate in Extended Training. In addition there are another 2,000 staff who have either received extended training on some of the three NHSTA modular or under local training schemes.

Mr. Bradley To ask the Secretary of State for Health what are the qualitative differences between the two National Health Service standards of paramedic training for ambulance staff.

Mrs. Virginia Bottomley : The National Health Service training authority certificate is the only national training standard for paramedics. Some authorities have elected to train in one or two of the three training authority modules, for example, cardiac care, and others provide training to local standards.

Ambulance Workers

Mr. Bradley : To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will publish statistics for the levels of stress and the mortality rate of (a) the ambulance workers' profession and (b) the national average.

Mrs. Virginia Bottomley : This information is not held by the Department. General responsibility for the recording of incidents of occupationally induced injuries and diseases resulting in absences of more than three days duration rests with my right hon. and learned Friend the Secretary of State for Employment.

General Practice Formularies

Mr. Michael Morris : To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will make it his policy that general practice formularies should originate with the individual practices.

Mrs. Virginia Bottomley : General practice formularies will be voluntary and will be organised in the way most suited to local circumstances. It will be for general practitioners individually to determine the degree of compliance where they adopt a formulary. Whilst we expect that many formularies will be practice based, there is nothing to prevent a group of practices or an FPC developing a common formulary should they wish.


Column 28

Prescription Products

Mr. Michael Morris : To ask the Secretary of State for Health what steps he intends to take to ensure that all new prescription products are made available to patients.

Mrs. Virginia Bottomley : Subject only to the provisions of the selected list scheme, doctors will continue to be able to prescribe any drugs, including new drugs, that they consider to be necessary for a patient's treatment.

AIDS

Mr. Robin Cook : To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will make a statement on the work of his Department on AIDS and the work of the AIDS unit within his Department.

Mrs. Virginia Bottomley : As I said in my reply to my hon. Friend the Member for Walthamstow (Mr. Summerson) on 23 November at column 11, the Department published the Government's response to the report from the Social Services Committee on AIDS (Cm. 925). That sets out the strategy which we have adopted to meet the challenge of AIDS. The AIDS unit is a multidisciplinary team of officials within the Department who work on HIV infection and AIDS.

Mr. Robin Cook : To ask the Secretary of State for Health what steps his Department is taking to implement the Montreal charter on the universal rights of people living with HIV disease agreed at the World Health Organisation conference in June 1989.

Mrs. Virginia Bottomley : The Government have endorsed all the official resolutions of the conference on AIDS organised in Montreal by the World Health Organisation. These do not include the charter to which the hon. Member refers. The strategy which the Government have adopted to meet the challenge of AIDS is set out in our response to the report from the Social Services Committee on AIDS (Cm. 925).

Hertfordshire FPC

Ms. Harman : To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will call for a report from the chairman of the Hertfordshire family practitioner committee about the circumstances surrounding the removal of 16 patients in the last three weeks from the list of Doctor Mir of Prestwick road, Watford.

Mrs. Virginia Bottomley : I refer the hon. Member to the reply I gave the hon. Member for Liverpool, Broadgreen (Mr. Fields) on 30 January at column 130. The administration of the contract of service of general medical practitioners in Hertfordshire is a matter for the Hertfordshire family practitioner committee, 14 Parliament square, Hertford, SG14 1ED.

Family Practitioner Committees

Mr. Robin Cook : To ask the Secretary of State for Health what is (a) the average and (b) the range of expenditure per patient in each family practitioner committee.

Mr. Freeman [holding answer 29 January 1990] : Family practitioner committees manage expenditure on all


Column 29

four family practitioner services ; the general medical, dental and opthalmic services, and the pharmaceutical service. The aggregate expenditure on these in each FPC in 1988-89, expressed as the total of payments per 10,000 registered population, is set out in the table. Information about the range of expenditure per patient, within each FPC and for all services, is not collected.

FOREIGN AND COMMONWEALTH AFFAIRS

UNESCO

Mr. Wells : To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs when he will publish the report of the proceedings at the recent biennial general conference of UNESCO ; what organisations in Britain he is consulting ; when he expects to publish his assessment of the conference ; and whether he will make it his policy to consult (a) the United Nations Association of Great Britain and (b) the Foreign Affairs Committee of the House before coming to any conclusions.

Mr. Sainsbury : UNESCO has just adopted a new medium term plan for the period 1990-95 and a programme and budget for the period 1990-91. These documents provide us with our first real opportunity to assess what progress the organisation has made since we left it in 1985. We will therefore now be making a detailed review of UNESCO with a view to deciding what our future relationship with the organisation should be. As part of this review we will be consulting a wide range of bodies with interests in the educational, scientific and cultural fields covered by UNESCO's mandate. The United Nations Association will be one of the organisations consulted. A final decision will be announced after we have considered all the evidence. We understand that the Foreign Affairs Committee of the House intends to conduct hearings in early March on our policy towards UNESCO.


Column 31

African Elephant

Mr. Tony Banks : To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what additional measures he intends to take to enhance elephant protection schemes in those African countries currently receiving assistance from Her Majesty's Government.

Mr. Waldegrave : The position remains as stated in the answer that my right hon. Friend the Minister for Overseas Development gave the hon. Member on 29 November 1989. We remain willing to consider any new requests for help.

Kashmir
