Nursing Home Care

Mr. Burstow: To ask the Secretary of State for Health what guidance he proposes to issue following the judgment in the case of South Lanarkshire v. McGregor, in relation to delays in providing nursing home care for persons assessed as needing it. [147295]

Mr. Hutton: South Lanarkshire Council have provisionally lodged an appeal against this decision. It would therefore be inappropriate to comment directly on this case in the meantime.

Agency Nurses

Mr. Redwood: To ask the Secretary of State for Health what the average hourly cost of a junior agency nurse is; and how much commission the NHS pays the agency. [147395]

Mr. Denham: The information requested is not held centrally.

Heart Surgery

Mr. Winnick: To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will make it his policy that minimally invasive heart surgery is carried out in cases where it is the preferred choice of the surgeon. [147391]

Mr. Denham: Minimally invasive heart surgery is not undertaken routinely at present. Two research projects are currently being carried out into its use and effectiveness, and are due for completion next year. The most common form of heart surgery, revascularisation, is carried out either by open-heart surgery (a bypass operation) or by balloon angioplasty, a non-surgical procedure.

Miss Melanie Johnson [holding answer 22 January 2001]: The information requested falls within the responsibility of the National Statistician. I have asked him to reply.
