Sports Injuries
Ms Primarolo : To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many deaths and severe injuries were caused by sport in each of the last five years ; and if she will publish figures for the number of such incidents for each main sport.
Mr. Sackville : The Office of Population Censuses and Surveys publishes statistics on sporting deaths in the monitor "Fatal accidents during sporting and leisure activities", series DH4, a copy of which is available in the Library. The latest year for which information is available is 1991. The information for 1987 to 1991 has been summarised and will be placed in the Library. More detailed information may be obtained from the monitor.
The information for severe injuries is published by the Department of Trade and Industry. Copies of the table will be placed in the Library.

Mental Illness
Mrs. Anne Campbell : To ask the Secretary of State for Health what is the total number of residential places available for people with mental illness in the most recent year available ; and how many of these were family placements or provided respite care or housing.
Mr. Bowis : The information available centrally shows that at 31 March 1992 in England there were 11,569 places in staffed local authority and independent sector residential homes, primarily for people with mental illness and 1,997 places in unstaffed local authority homes. Information is not available centrally for unstaffed homes in the independent sector. Information on places is not broken down by the type of care.
In addition, there were 284 staffed residential homes reported at 31 March 1992 as serving mentally ill people as a second or third client group within the home, but information is not available on the number of places specifically designated for mentally ill people in these homes.
Patients Charters
Dr. Wright : To ask the Secretary of State for Health what redress and compensation are available to patients when health authorities and trusts fail to meet service commitments made in local and national patients charters.
Dr. Mawhinney : Health authorities and hospitals are responsible on a day-to-day basis for delivering patients charter rights and standards and are expected to ensure that service commitments are fully met.
In two specific instances the patients charter offers redress. Under the citizens charter, patients are guaranteed treatment within a maximum of two years--18 months for hip and knee replacement and cataract operations--from the date when their consultant places them on a waiting list. Where a hospital cannot give treatment within the guaranteed maximum waiting time, then health authorities should make alternative arrangements with another provider.
Also operations should not be cancelled on the day a patient is due to arrive in hospital. If this happens twice, then treatment should be arranged within one month of the date of the second cancellation.
Battens Disease
Mr. Nigel Evans : To ask the Secretary of State for Health (1) what measures are being taken to ensure that all children who suffer from Battens disease are treated before they are three years of age ; (2) how many cases of Battens disease have been recorded in each year since 1983.
Mr. Bowis : Battens disease is extremely rare, and its prevalence is not precisely known. There is no known effective treatment for Battens disease. In the infantile forms, with onset before the age of three, the health care of the children is guided by the basic principles which apply to all types of progressive disorder with handicap.
