Smoking Policy

Mr. Sarwar: To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will make a statement on the role of Zyban in the development of the Government's policy on smoking. [128718]

19 Jul 2000 : Column: 222W

Yvette Cooper: Zyban is now available on National Health Service prescription. Zyban is a non-nicotine based treatment which has been shown to be effective in helping smokers to quit in combination with motivational support. This drug is an entirely new approach to treating nicotine dependence and NHS availability will give general practitioners an effective way to help smokers.

Abortion

Mr. Amess: To ask the Secretary of State for Health what requirements abortion clinics must meet to be licensed by his Department. [129412]

Yvette Cooper: Any independent sector place wishing to carry out termination of pregnancy must first of all be registered with the local health authority under the Registered Homes Act 1984. All units are inspected and must undertake to comply with the Department's Required Standard Operating Principles (RSOP), which cover a variety of topics. The RSOPs can be found in the "Procedures For The Approval Of Independent Sector Places For The Termination Of Pregnancy". Copies are available in the Library.

Approved clinics are subject to regular unannounced inspections. Failure to comply with the RSOPs, or to maintain the standards required by my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State may lead to withdrawal of approval.

Mr. Amess: To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will list the private sector clinics and hospitals providing abortions, indicating (a) the number of approved beds they contain and (b) whether they are approved for (i) surgical day care abortions with or without general anaesthetic and (ii) late abortions, indicating the name of the proprietor in each case. [129413]

Yvette Cooper: The number of approved beds is controlled by local health authorities under the Registered Homes Act 1984 and this information is not collated centrally. The independent sector places approved to carry out termination of pregnancy are shown in the table. All of them are approved to undertake surgical day care abortions, subject to their conditions of registration under the above Act. Clinics approved to perform abortions from 20 weeks up to 24 weeks gestation are identified in the table. No independent sector place is approved to carry out termination of pregnancy after 24 weeks gestation.
