Mr. Dorrell : NHS trusts are required to return the same kind of data to the management executive as other provider units, that is, activity data, and manpower information. The latter is in the form of the numbers of medical and non-medical staff employed and the numbers joining and leaving. This information forms part of the national aggregated NHS data returns. It is not routinely reported to Parliament but is included in statistical publications such as statistical bulletins and the annual volume "Health and Personal Social Services Statistics", copies of which are available in the Library.
Mr. Cousins : To ask the Secretary of State for Health what internal audit requirements he has imposed on NHS trusts ; whether he has required asset sales and acquisitions to be reported to him and the trust board ; and whether he has required companies and trading subsidiaries linked to NHS trusts to report to him and the trust board, Parliament and the public.
Mr. Dorrell : The trust management is responsible for ensuring that an adequate internal audit function is established. The objectives and scope of internal audit within the trust should be based upon the principles described in the NHS internal audit manual. External auditors will report on the adequacy of financial controls, including internal audit, within NHS trusts.
Trusts are required to submit details of major capital expenditure and asset sales on a quarterly basis to the NHS management executive. NHS trust boards will determine what management information they require to ensure that they meet their statutory financial duties. Trusts will prepare annual financial statements to be adopted by the board, submitted to the NHS management executive, and presented to the general public at annual meetings. Summarised accounts will be laid before Parliament.
NHS trusts have no power to set up subsidiary or trading companies.
Data Information Systems
Mr. Cohen : To ask the Secretary of State for Health whether he will list the items of data that comprise the contract minimum data set ; what representations his Department has received as to whether the current procedures surrounding the security of the data set are adequate ; what plans he has to indemnify health authorities should an individual be awarded compensation for the damage caused by breach of security ; and if he will make a statement.
Mr. Dorrell : The data items that comprise the general in-patient contract minimum data set are set out in the list.

The Department has not received any representations specifically about the procedures for the secure handling of the contract minimum data set. Ensuring the security of personal health information is a prime concern of the Department of the medical profession and of NHS Managers. We are currently exploring whether steps need be taken further to strengthen security in the handling of those data sets. There are no plans to indemnify health authorities in the event of compensation being awarded as a result of a breach of security.
Mr. Cohen : To ask the Secretary of State for Health what data information systems his Department has (a) agreed and (b) been consulted about with a view to taking part in ; what are the criteria for inclusion in such systems ; whether they will be linked to (i) the Police National Computer and (ii) other computer systems ; what data protection provisions apply to them ; and if he will make a statement.
Mr. Dorrell : The Department has a large number of data information systems. It would not be possible to fully document these other than at disproportionate cost. Where appropriate departmental systems are registered
Column 464
under the Data Protection Act 1984. Where there is a requirement to link to other computer systems the provisions of the Act are taken fully into account.Anti-depressant Drugs
Mr. Cousins : To ask the Secretary of State for Health what was the expenditure per head of population on general practitioner prescribed anti- depressant drugs in each NHS region and family health service authority area for the second half of 1991 ; and what were the corresponding figures for equivalent periods in 1988, 1989 and 1990.
Mrs. Virginia Bottomley : Information for 1991 is not yet available. The figures for 1988, 1989 and 1990 are given in the table.

Electoral Registration
Mr. Harry Barnes : To ask the Secretary of State for Health, pursuant to his answer to the hon. Member for Sheffield, Brightside (Mr. Blunkett), Official Report, 29 January, columns 601-2, 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
Column 474
each district council area and parliamentary constituency in England and Wales, together in each case with the equivalent year's electoral registration figures.Mr. Dorrell [holding answer 5 February 1992] : Population estimates are not available for parliamentary constituencies. The table shows local government electors on the 1991 registers (qualifying date 10 October 1990) and
Column 475
approximately corresponding mid-1990 estimates of resident population for each London borough and county district in England and Wales as requested.The electorate figures include unknown numbers of legitimate dual registrations (eg. by persons with second homes and students). The resident population estimates include a proportion of those aged 15 to 19 at mid- 1990, who were already 18 or would reach this age during the period when the 1991 electoral register was in use. This proportion has been calculated nationally and applied in every district. The estimates include residents who were not Commonwealth citizens or citizens of the Republic of Ireland, and persons detained in mental institutions, who are not eligible to be electors. Resident population estimates are currently based upon the 1981 census ; provisional estimates for 1991 based on the 1991 census will be available in the autumn.

Skills Audit
16. Mr. Cousins : To ask the Secretary of State for Employment what steps he is taking to carry out an audit of skills among the labour force.
Mr. Howard : My Department commissions surveys to monitor skills and training issues at a national and regional level.
It is mainly a matter for training and enterprise councils to decide whether to undertake local skills audit. Several TECs are undertaking studies of that kind.
Job Creation (Hemsworth)
17. Mr. Enright : To ask the Secretary of State for Employment what jobs were created in the Hemsworth constituency in each of the years from 1987 to 1991.
Mr. Jackson : No records are kept of jobs created, only estimates of the net change in the numbers of employees in employment are made.
Youth Training
18. Mr. Squire : To ask the Secretary of State for Employment what is the current annual cost of providing training for 16 and 17-year-olds.
Mr. Howard : Provision for youth training in Great Britain in 1991- 92 was £842 million. Yesterday I announced plans for a further £17 million to be allocated to YT in the current financial year, as part of my Department's spring supplementary estimate.
19. Mr. Watson : To ask the Secretary of State for Employment how many 1991 school leavers sought a place on a youth training scheme ; and how many were successful.
Mr. Howard : Information about entrants to youth training is not available by reference to the date of their leaving school. The Government remain committed to their guarantee of an offer of a place on YT for all 16 and 17-year-olds not in a job or full-time education.
