Mr. Dorrell : It is the responsibility of individual health authorities to assess and evaluate proposals for the introduction of cook- chill catering locally. They are also expected to evaluate a unit's performance against agreed standards as an integral part of the process of assessing value for money within the national health service.
Mr. Hinchliffe : To ask the Secretary of State for Health whether he is monitoring the local implementation of the Children Act 1989 and National Health Service and Community Care Act 1990 against local authorities' own definitions of need or a national notional norm ; and if he will make a statement.
Mrs. Virginia Bottomley: The Department has been discussing with the local authority associations and voluntary child care organisations how best to monitor implementation of the Children Act in respect of services to children in need as defined by section 17(10) of the Children Act. This will form part of the Department's strategy for monitoring implementation of the Children Act overall. The implementation of "Caring for People" is being monitored by regional health authorities and the regional social services inspectorate on the basis of the progress review issues document issued in June 1991.
National Health Service Trusts (Purchasing)
Mr. Hinchliffe : To ask the Secretary of State for Health (1) what directions have been given to trusts with regard to central purchasing arrangements ;
(2) what proposals he has to restructure central purchasing arrangements within the national health service.
Mr. Dorrell : The National Health Service Supplies Authority was established as a special health authority on 1 October 1991 to provide a comprehensive national supplies service for all national health service units throughout England. Over the next few months it will take over the supplies services currently provided by regional and district health authorities and will operate through a central headquarters and six operating divisions. All national health service units including trusts, will be encouraged to negotiate a service contract with the appropriate division of the authority for the range of supplies services each will require, in expectation of securing best value for money. Trusts will be free to manage their own supplies service but would be expected to demonstrate continuing value for money if they choose to do so.
Elderly People (Nursing Care)
Mr. Hinchliffe : To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will make a statement on the role of the national health service in providing long-term nursing care of the elderly, and on the circumstances under which private
Column 285
nursing care or private, voluntary or local authority residential care should be used ; and if he will make a statement.Mr. Dorrell : The role of the national health service in providing long-term nursing care is clearly set out in the White Paper "Caring for People" (Cm. 849) at paragraphs 4.19-4.22. Health authorities may make use of private nursing homes or nursing services as they see fit in the light of local circumstances and priorities and available resources. Similarly, it is for local authorities to decide whether to provide accommodation in their own homes or to arrange residential care in the independent sector for those who are in need of residential care.
Mr. Hinchliffe : To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many national health service patients over retirement age have been discharged directly into (a) private nursing homes, (b) voluntary nursing homes, (c) private care homes, (d) voluntary care homes and (e) local authority part III accommodation for each year since 1979.
Mr. Dorrell : This information is not available centrally.
Health and Social Care
Mr. Hinchliffe : To ask the Secretary of State for Health what steps he has taken to ensure that there is consistency between the statistical information available nationally for planning both health care and social care.
Mr. Dorrell : A wide range of information supports the Department's planning, including demographic and census statistics as well as data relating to the NHS and local authority social services. The need for consistency is well established as a key consideration in the design of national collection systems. Mechanisms exist to formulate consistent central information requirements in both health and social services.
Home Helps
Mr. Hinchliffe : To ask the Secretary of State for Health what information he has on the prevalence of local authorities redefining their criteria for access to home help/home care services.
Mrs. Virginia Bottomley : This information is not collected centrally. We understand that some local authorities have revised their criteria.
Care Budget
Mr. Hinchliffe : To ask the Secretary of State for Health what account will be taken of geographical variations when the care element of the social security budget for private and voluntary residential nursing care is transferred to local authorities.
Mrs. Virginia Bottomley : Decisions about the distribution of the transfer from the Department of Social Security to individual local authorities will be taken later this year following discussions with the local authority associations.
Westwood Hospital
Mr. Madden : To ask the Secretary of State for Health what information he has about the plans to build a 50-bed bungalow-type hospital in the grounds of Westwood hospital.
Column 286
Mr. Dorrell [holding answer 28 January 1992] : There are no such plans. I understand that Bradford health authority is consulting Bradford community health council about its plans for the development of local services for people with learning disabilities.
Mr. Madden : To ask the Secretary of State for Health what analysis he has received of local opinion on the proposal to close Westwood hospital in Bradford ; if he will summarise the opinion ; and if he will place copies of the analysis in the Library.
Mr. Dorrell [holding answer 28 January 1992] : We have received no analysis of local opinion regarding the closure of Westwood hospital.
Bradford health authority is currently consulting Bradford community health council about its plans for developing services for people with learning disabilities.
Mr. Madden : To ask the Secretary of State for Health when Bradford Health announced its proposal to close Westwood hospital in Bradford ; over what period the local community was consulted about the proposal ; what consideration he has given to the proposal ; and when he intends to announce whether he approves the closure proposal.
Mr. Dorrell [holding answer 28 January 1992] : Bradford health authority conducted a full public consultation between August and November 1990 on their proposals for the development of services for people with learning disabilities including the future role of Westwood hospital. These proposals have not been referred to Ministers.
Mr. Madden : To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will undertake to visit Westwood hospital, Bradford, to meet the local community before reaching a decision on the future of the hospital.
Mr. Dorrell [holding answer 28 January 1992] : No such proposal has been referred to my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for a decision.
Mr. Madden : To ask the Secretary of State for Health what public consultation has been conducted in Bradford over the proposal to close Westwood hospital ; and what representations he has received about the consultation process.
Mr. Dorrell [holding answer 28 January 1992] : Bradford health conducted a full public consultation between August and November 1990 on its proposals for the development of services for people with learning disabilities including the future role of Westwood hospital. They are now consulting Bradford community health council for the next phase of these plans. We have received a number of representations about Westwood hospital from the hon. Members for Bradford, West and for Bradford, South (Mr Cryer) and a number of local residents.
Mr. Madden : To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will describe the normal procedure applied to any proposal to close a hospital ; and the circumstances in which he is required to approve a proposal to close a hospital ; and whether this normal procedure has been applied to the proposal by Bradford Health to close Westwood hospital.
Column 287
Mr. Dorrell [holding answer 28 January 1992] : The procedure for the closure of hospitals is contained in the Community Health Councils Regulations 1985 (as amended). The regulations provide for formal local consultation, including the appropriate community health council, (CHC) for any significant change in hospital and community health services. If local agreement cannot be achieved, the proposals must be referred to the regional health authority who may reject them or forward them for consideration by my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State. In the case of services for people with learning disabilities, Bradford health authority has confirmed that it will consult with the CHC and other interested parties on its proposals including final closure and disposal of the hospital.SCOTLAND

Individual health boards are able to retain proceeds from the disposals they achieve--currently at the rate of 80 per cent. with the balance being allocated by the management executive to benefit the NHS capital programme.
Mr. Kennedy : To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what was the revenue expenditure of each health board on health service facilities for patients with a mental handicap for each year since 1981, in cash terms and at 1991 prices.
Mr. Michael Forsyth : This information is not held centrally.
Health Service Staff
Mr. Kennedy : To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what studies have been conducted, or are under way, into the administrative workloads of doctors, nurses and clinical staff in the professions associated with medicine ; and if he will make a statement.
Mr. Michael Forsyth : No studies which address the administrative workloads of these staff groups have been undertaken or are planned in Scotland.
Bank of Credit and Commerce International
Mr. Kennedy : To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will detail his reasons for not allowing those local authorities which have incurred losses as a result of the BCCI affair to treat the sums involved as capital projects ; and if he will make a statement.
Mr. Allan Stewart : The accounting treatment of its BCCI loss is a matter for each local authority concerned to agree with its auditors.
Farming Policy
Mr. Ron Brown : To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland when he will next meet the Scottish TUC to discuss farming policy.
Mr. Michael Forsyth : My right hon. Friend has no plans at present to meet the Scottish TUC.
Cash Limits
Mr. Bill Walker : To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he proposes to make any changes to the cash limits for 1991-92 within his responsibility.
Mr. Lang : Yes, subject to parliamentary approval of the necessary estimates, I intend to make changes to nine cash limits :
(a) The cash limit for class XV, vote 2 : agricultural services and fisheries, Scotland, will be increased by £963,000
Column 292
from £98,288,000 to £99,251,000. The increase in provision is required to meet an unexpected shortfall in appropriations in aid from disposals of property, higher than estimated commitments at the Scottish Agricultural college, increased provision for pensions and higher than anticipated demand under a number of grant schemes. These extra requirements are partly offset by savings elsewhere in the vote due to reduced demand under other grant schemes. The increase will be offset by taking up £543,000 end-year flexibility on capital spending and the balance of £420,000 forms part of the £578,000 reduction in the cash limit of class XV, vote 20, Scottish Office administration from £140,408,000 to £139,830,000.(b) The cash limit for class XV, vote 7, housing, Scotland, will be increased by £7,690,000 from £499,608,000 to £507,298,000. Of this increase £7,545,000, to Scottish Homes' grant in aid, will assist housing associations in the acquisition of local authority and new town development corporation housing stock. The remainder will meet the costs of further publicity on the rent-to-mortgage scheme and the provision of advice on housing matters.
(c) The cash limit on class XV, vote 13, law, order and miscellaneous health services, Scotland, will be increased by £4,455, 000 from £213,464,000 to £217,919,000. This increase will be offset by a reduction in the SO/LA1 cash block. The increased provision is required to cover additional costs in the administration of legal aid by the Scottish Legal Aid Board and to meet the costs of the investigations into war crimes and the Lockerbie air disaster. The remaining additional provision will cover the costs arising from the Orkney judicial inquiry, for social work offender services and miscellaneous health services.
(d) The cash limit for class XV, vote 14, education, arts and libraries, Scotland, will be reduced by £1,000,000 from £222,963,000 to £221,963,000. This reduction, due to slippage in major capital projects, will partly offset increases in other votes.
(e) The cash limit for class XV, vote 17, Scottish Record Office, will be reduced by £225,000 from £3,772,000 to £3,547,000. This reduction is due to slippage in a major capital project and will partly offset increased provision in other votes.
(f) The cash limit for class XV, vote 18, General Register Office for Scotland, will be reduced by £1,200,000 from £13,812,000 to £12, 612,000. The bulk of this reduction arises from savings made in the costs of running the 1991 census and will partly offset increased provision in other votes.
(g) The cash limit for class XV, vote 20, Scottish Office administration, will be reduced by £578,000 from £140,908,000 to £140,330,000. This reduction will offset increases in capital and running cost provision in other votes. The running cost limit for the Scottish Office is unchanged.
(h) The cash limit for class XV, vote 26, hospital, community health, family health (part) and other health services, Scotland, will be reduced by £3,239,000 from £2,355,487,000 to £2,352,248,000. This reduction partly offsets increases in other votes.
(i) In addition the cash block SO/LA1, which covers non-housing capital expenditure by local authorities, will be reduced by £8,700, 000 from £551,650,000 to £542,950,000. This reduction will partly offset increases in other votes.
(j) The non-voted cash block SO/LA2, which covers net capital allocation to local authorities on new town capital expenditure will be reduced by £7,690,000 from £343,496,000 to £335,806,000. This will partly offset increases in other votes.
Column 293
All the increases mentioned will be offset by savings or charged to the reserve and therefore will not increase the planned total of public expenditure.Electoral Registration
Mr. Harry Barnes : To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will list the latest estimates by the Registrar General of Populations of those aged 17 years and over, plus 63 per cent. of those aged 16 years, for each district council area and parliamentary constituency in Scotland, together in each case with the equivalent year's electoral registration figures.
Mr. Michael Forsyth [holding answer 5 February 1992] : The information requested is given in the tables. For clarity of presentation, the first table includes figures for regions and islands areas and the whole of Scotland. The population figures in Table B have been prepared by a method that involves a certain degree of approximation and therefore they must be treated with some caution.
