Although established as an NHS Trust, it is not due to become fully operational until 1 April 1995, following a shadow period of 2 years.
Mr. Colvin : To ask the Secretary of State for Health how much has been spent by her Department on publicity to doctors, in each year since 1979-80.
Dr. Mawhinney : Guidance from the Department is issued to ensure that the national health service provides high-quality, effective and efficient health care. Funds are supplied from the Department's central funding. Separate costs of issuing guidance, circulars and letters to individual groups within the national health service cannot be identified.
Sir Thomas Arnold : To ask the Secretary of State for Health what consultations she is holding with the Royal College of Psychiatrists about the release of psychiatric patients with a history of violent behaviour under the care in the community programme ; and if she will make a statement.
Mr. Bowis : The royal college, and other professional bodies, have been fully consulted about the steps we have taken to ensure that psychiatric patients are not discharged from hospital before they are ready to leave and that they are cared for safely, whether in hospital or the community. These steps include the proposed new power of supervised
Column 760
discharge, new guidance on the discharge of mentally disordered people from hospital and their continuing care in the community, and the introduction of supervision registers for people with severe mental illness who may present a significant risk to themselves or others.We shall be bringing forward legislation to introduce supervised discharge at the earliest opportunity. The new guidance on the discharge and continuing care of mentally disordered people was circulated for consultation in January and will be issued in definitive form as soon as we have taken account of the comments received, and of the relevant recommendations of the Ritchie inquiry. Separate guidance issued on 16 February, HSG(94)5, requires health authorities to have contracts in force by 1 April 1994 which ensure that supervision registers are established and maintained. We remain in close contact with the college on these and related matters.

Mr. Peter Bottomley : To ask the Secretary of State for Health what advice she has received on how there could be a reduction of 200,000 NHS jobs without a reduction in services to patients.

Mr. Redmond : To ask the Secretary of State for Health whether she has examined the content of broadcasts made by paid officers of NHS trusts promoting Norwich Union Healthcare ; and if she will make a statement.
Mr. Sackville : I am aware that some national health service staff have appeared in broadcasts aimed at publicising collaborative ventures with private insurers to facilitate the more effective use of NHS paybeds. Paybeds generate valuable income for improving services for all patients.

Mr. Bellingham : To ask the Secretary of State for Health when the United Kingdom's initial report to the United Nations committee on the rights of the child will be published ; and if she will make a statement.
Mr. Bowis : I am pleased to announce that the United Kingdom's initial report on implementation of the United Nations convention on the rights of the child was submitted to the United Nations committee on the rights of the child today. The report is also published by Her Majesty's Stationery Office today. Copies have been placed in the Library. A distribution of copies will be made shortly to the large public libraries, local authorities, health authorities and national health service trusts and to a selection of voluntary child care organisations. Similar distributions will take place in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
The report details how United Kingdom law, policy and practice meet the provisions of the convention. It reveals a positive record in the United Kingdom on the treatment of children, as well as detailing the safeguards that exist, and which we are constantly seeking to improve, to ensure children's rights to special consideration and protection are met.
Mr. Hinchliffe : To ask the Secretary of State for Health how the needs of carers are accounted for in the formula used to distribute the special transitional grant.
Mr. Bowis : In 1993-94 the distribution of the grant is based predominately on personal social services standard spending assessments. These include factors which are intended to reflect needs for community care expenditure in the round, including the needs of carers. In 1994-95 the grant will be based exclusively on PSS SSAs.
Mr. Brazier : To ask the Secretary of State for Health if she will list her current major initiatives involving youth and voluntary youth organisations.
Mr. Bowis : The Children Act gives local authorities responsibility to support children in need and their families wherever possible, and to provide services for young people. Standard spending on children's services for 1993-94 has increased by 32 per cent. since 1990-91. The Department is funding a programme of grants to the voluntary sector exceeding £8 million to help them develop family support services, day care services, services for the young homeless and young people leaving care, and initiatives to divert young people from crime.
We are also encouraging and supporting organisations which provide information and services for young people in the fields of mental health, drug prevention and HIV/AIDS.

Mrs. Ray Michie : To ask the Secretary of State for Health what plans she has to put forward a Bill to widen the scope of the General Medical Council's disciplinary remit to introduce a new procedure on professional performance ; and if she will make a statement.
Dr. Mawhinney : We are considering proposals put forward by the General Medical Council about new performance procedures to deal with cases where a doctor's pattern of professional performance is seriously deficient but does not amount to serious professional misconduct.
Mr. Blunkett : To ask the Secretary of State for Health (1) how many managerial and administrative staff have been employed by each family health services authority in each region since 1989 ; (2) if she will publish a table showing the total number of staff employed by family practitioner committees (a) in total and (b) by region in 1989.

Mr. Raynsford : To ask the Secretary of State for Employment if he will publish in the Official Report the figures from his Department's Employment Gazette showing the total number of people employed in banking and financial services, standard industrial classification 8, in Greater London in the latest quarter and the equivalent quarters of 1989, 1990, 1991 and 1992.
Miss Widdecombe : The information can be obtained from the NOMIS database and table 1.5 of the Employment Gazette , both of which are accessible from the Library.

Mr. Boyes : To ask the Secretary of State for Employment if he will produce a table showing entitlement to paid annual leave in each EU country.
Mr. Michael Forsyth : A table showing statutory annual leave entitlement and public holidays in all EU countries was published in an article in the September 1993 edition of Employment Gazette --"Working time and holidays in the EC : how the UK compares". The article also presents "Labour Force Survey" results on paid annual leave entitlement actually received in practice by United Kingdom employees. Fully representative, comparable, data on actual paid annual leave entitlement in other EU states are not available.
Mrs. Bridget Prentice : To ask the Secretary of State for Employment how many people were signed off from the Lewisham and Catford jobcentres without reason being given after a Restart interview during 1993.
Mr. Michael Forsyth : Responsibility for the subject of the question has been delegated to the Employment Service Agency under its chief executive. I have asked him to arrange for a reply to be given.
Letter from P. J. Walsh to Mrs. Bridget Prentice, dated 2 March 1994 :
The Secretary of State has asked me to reply to your question about the number of people who were signed off without a reason being given after a Restart Interview at Lewisham and Catford Jobcentres. Unfortunately, the information you request is not available. Statistics on people who leave the register after a Restart Interview are collected only where we can demonstrate that the sign off was the direct result of the interview. Undoubtedly this somewhat underestimates the total effectiveness of Restart Interviews but the alternative would be to include numerous people who would have left the register anyway. The figures I can, therefore, give you are in the attached table.
These figures reflect only the direct results of Restart. We do not know how many people subsequently take up a job or a place on an employment or training programme as a result of the guidance given to them at their interview.
I hope this is helpful.

Mr. Donohoe : To ask the Secretary of State for Employment what was the average level of awards in cases where industrial tribunals have recommended the reinstatement of an employee dismissed by their employer and this has not been implemented by the company concerned in the last year for which figures are available.
Miss Widdecombe : The average total award of compensation where an order for reinstatement or re-engagement was not complied with was £13,602 in the 12 months ended 31 March 1993.
